The present invention describes computer-implemented methods and apparatus for treating motor control and somatosensory perception deficits. The motor control and somatosensory perception deficits may have their genesis in a wide variety of issues ranging from injury, disease, or a gradual degradation of motor control over time due to repetitive strain, for example. By administering a computer-implemented training regime directed to improve sensory feedback and motor control, abnormal motor control and somatosensory perception may be substantially improved. The computer-implemented training regime includes somatosensory perception and motor control exercises which may be flexibly administered. Several training apparatus are described for implementing the somatosensory perception and motor control exercises. The training apparatus described herein are capable of driving improvements in temporal, spatial and intensity resolution of somatosensory feedback. In addition, the apparatus allow the training to be monitored and adapted on a quantitative basis as treatment proceeds. Advantageously, this provides a more accurate and effective training tool for treating motor control deficits. Further, the computer-implemented methods and apparatus allow treatment to be administered in the convenience of the person's own home and on a daily basis.
