Will also be excluded from study volunteers who do not agree to participate after reading and understanding of informed consent in accordance with resolution 466/12 of the National Ethics Committee and Research. The data acquisition interface will be acquired by an electromyography e a standard of strentgh will maintened in forty Newtons assured by an electronic dynamometer for tests of palmar prehension without and with bandages. The volunteers will not know what kind of intervention will pass. After each application before testing, their both forearms will be covered with a protection. The researcher and the volunteers will not know the tests order.
