Movement control in hypoxia might be affected by several factors such as depression of propioceptive and vestibular afferents and changes in physical properties of ambient air at altitude (2,3). These factors may cause disturbance in coordination of aimed voluntary movements with a reduction of accuracy and altered kinematics variables. These changes may occur particularly in conditions as acute or chronic mountain sickness, where symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, dimness of vision and generalized weakness are present.
