Internal models for motor control and trajectory planning

M Kawato - Current opinion in neurobiology, 1999 - Elsevier
A number of internal model concepts are now widespread in neuroscience and cognitive
science. These concepts are supported by behavioral, neurophysiological, and imaging …

Understanding finger coordination through analysis of the structure of force variability

JP Scholz, F Danion, ML Latash, G Schöner - Biological cybernetics, 2002 - Springer
Most common motor acts involve highly redundant effector systems. Understanding how
such systems are controlled by the nervous system is a long-standing scientific challenge …

Goal-equivalent joint coordination in pointing: affect of vision and arm dominance

Y Tseng, JP Scholz, G Schöner - Motor control, 2002 - journals.humankinetics.com
This study used the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) approach to study joint coordination
underlying the control of task-related variables important for success at reaching and …

Trajectory of the index finger during grasping

J Friedman, T Flash - Experimental brain research, 2009 - Springer
The trajectory of the index finger during grasping movements was compared to the
trajectories predicted by three optimization-based models. The three models consisted of …

Learning augmented joint-space task-oriented dynamical systems: a linear parameter varying and synergetic control approach

Y Shavit, N Figueroa, SSM Salehian… - IEEE Robotics and …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this letter, we propose an asymptotically stable joint-space dynamical system (DS) that
captures desired behaviors in joint-space while converging toward a task-space attractor in …

Modeling kinematics and dynamics of human arm movements

MA Admiraal, MJ Kusters, SCAM Gielen - Motor control, 2004 - journals.humankinetics.com
A central problem in motor control relates to the coordination of the arm's many degrees of
freedom. This problem concerns the many arm postures (kinematics) that correspond to the …

Inter-joint coordination deficits revealed in the decomposition of endpoint jerk during goal-directed arm movement after stroke

J Laczko, RA Scheidt, LS Simo… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
It is well documented that neurological deficits after stroke can disrupt motor control
processes that affect the smoothness of reaching movements. The smoothness of hand …

Minimum jerk motion planning for a prosthetic finger

EL Secco, A Visioli, G Magenes - Journal of Robotic Systems, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper we propose a method, based on both physiologic and engineering
considerations, for the motion planning of a prosthetic finger. In particular, we exploit a …

Balance control during an arm raising movement in bipedal stance: which biomechanical factor is controlled?

M Ferry, L Martin, N Termoz, J Côté, F Prince - Biological Cybernetics, 2004 - Springer
In order to obtain new insight into the control of balance during arm raising movements in
bipedal stance, we performed a biomechanical analysis of kinematics and dynamical …
