Methods and apparatuses for improving peripheral nerve function

A method of enhancing neuromotor performance of a user, the method comprising:

• applying electrical stimulation using initial stimulation parameters to a peripheral nerve at a wrist of the user from a wearable stimulation device;
• presenting, via a computing device, a visuomotor task requiring timed finger inputs from the user;
• measuring one or more neuromotor performance metrics of the user performing the visuomotor task, the one or more neuromotor performance metrics comprising a fine motor skill including one or more of:
• pinching, tapping and finger individuation;
• adjusting one or more parameters of the initial stimulation parameters for the electrical stimulation based on the one or more neuromotor performance metrics to generate adjusted stimulation parameters, wherein the adjusted stimulation parameters are configured to improve one or more of:
• consistency, speed of movement, and accuracy of movement during interaction with the visuomotor task;
• and
• applying electrical stimulation using the adjusted stimulation parameters to a peripheral nerve at a wrist of the user from a wearable stimulation device while the user performs the visuomotor task.

A method of enhancing neuromotor performance of a user, the method comprising:

• presenting, via a video display of a computing device, a visuomotor task requiring timed finger inputs from the user using a gaming console, phone or tablet;
• measuring one or more neuromotor performance metrics of the user performing the visuomotor task from the gaming console, phone or tablet, the one or more neuromotor performance metrics comprising a fine motor skill including one or more of:
• pinching, tapping and finger individuation, wherein measuring includes measuring one or more of:
• button press speed, individual button press speed, screen tapping speed and press accuracy;
• adjusting or setting one or more stimulation parameters based on the one or more neuromotor performance metrics, wherein the one or more stimulation parameters are configured to improve one or more of:
• consistency, speed of movement, and accuracy of movement during interaction with the visuomotor task;
• and
• applying electrical stimulation using the one or more stimulation parameters to a peripheral nerve at a wrist of the user from a wearable stimulation device.
