Locomotion in vertebrates and invertebrates has a long history in research as the most
prominent example of interlimb coordination. However, the evolution towards upright stance …

Bimanual coordination, a prototype of a complex motor skill, has recently become the
subject of intensive investigation. Whereas past research focused mainly on the …

Periodic bimanual movements are often the focus of studies of the basic organizational
principles of human actions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. In such movements there is a typical spontaneous …

Many activities of daily living require moving both hands in an organized manner in space
and time. Therefore, understanding the impact of aging on bimanual coordination is …

When the left and right hands produce 2 different rhythms simultaneously, coordination of
the hands is difficult unless the rhythms can be integrated into a unified temporal pattern. In …

Humans use their arms to engage in a wide variety of motor tasks during everyday life.
However, little is known about the statistics of these natural arm movements. Studies of the …

Our recent work has shown that older adults are disproportionately impaired at bimanual
tasks when the two hands are moving out of phase with each other [Bangert, AS, Reuter …

We investigated how the relative direction of limb movements in external space (iso-and non-
isodirectionality), muscular constraints (the relative timing of homologous muscle activation) …

The present study addressed the efficacy of concurrently moving both arms, with and without
a load added to the uninvolved arm, in facilitating the quality of movement of the involved …

Background Unilateral stroke produces debilitating deficits in voluntary control in the
contralesional arm, and significant motor coordination deficits in the ipsilesional arm. In …
