Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

In order to generate skilled and efficient actions, the motor system must find solutions to
several problems inherent in sensorimotor control, including nonlinearity, nonstationarity …

This paper presents studies of the coordination of voluntary human arm movements. A
mathematical model is formulated which is shown to predict both the qualitative features and …

We present an upper-body exoskeleton for rehabilitation, called Harmony, that provides
natural coordinated motions on the shoulder with a wide range of motion, and force and …

In this paper, we study trajectory planning and control in voluntary, human arm movements.
When a hand is moved to a target, the central nervous system must select one specific …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Written by the foremost authority on the subject, Kinetics of Human Motion is the sequel and
companion to the 1998 text Kinematics of Human Motion. World-renowned biomechanics …

A scheme for understanding the organization of human postural movements is developed in
the format of a position paper. The structural characteristics of the body and the geometry of …

Skilled motor behaviour, from the graceful leap of a ballerina to a precise pitch by a baseball
player, appears effortless but reflects an intimate interaction between the complex …

The motions of segments participating in striking and throwing skills are generally
sequenced in a proximal-to-distal fashion. These sequences are often described in terms of …
