the structure of motor variability. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 30, No. 1, pp 26–31, 2002. We …

Driven by recent empirical studies, we offer a new understanding of the degrees of freedom
problem, and propose a refined concept of synergy as a neural organization that ensures a …

Synergy discusses a general problem in biology: The lack of an adequate language for
formulating biologically specific problems. Written for an inquisitive reader who is not …

We describe several influential hypotheses in the field of motor control including the
equilibrium-point (referent configuration) hypothesis, the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis …

This study tested the hypotheses that all major joints along the longitudinal axis of the body
are equally active during quiet standing and that their motions are coordinated to stabilize …

Understanding the fundamental deficits that underlie abnormal reaching movements in
persons with hemiparesis is important to the development of rehabilitation approaches for …

In order to perceive and act in its environment, the individual's body and its interactions with
the sensory and social environment are represented in the brain. This internal …

Although important differences exist between learning a new motor skill and adapting a well-
learned skill to new environmental constraints, studies of force field adaptation have been …

The structure of joint angle variability and its changes with practice were investigated using
the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) computational approach. Subjects performed fast and …

To claim that the center of mass (CM) of the body is a controlled variable of the postural
system is difficult to verify experimentally. In this report, a new variant of the method of the …
