As robotic devices are applied to problems beyond traditional manufacturing and industrial
settings, we find that interaction between robots and humans, especially physical interaction …

Prehension, the capacity to reach and grasp, is the key behavior that allows humans to
change their environment. It continues to serve as a remarkable experimental test case for …

Anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments are the two principal
mechanisms that the central nervous system uses to maintain equilibrium while standing …

The cerebral cortex may play a role in the control of compensatory balance reactions by
optimizing these responses to suit the task conditions and/or to stimulus (ie perturbation) …

Recent advances in myoelectric prosthetic technology have enabled more complex
movements and interactions with objects, but the lack of natural haptic feedback makes …

Abstract O'SHEA, H. and SJ Redmond. A review of the neurobiomechanical processes
underlying secure gripping in object manipulation. NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV 286–300 …

Sensory feedback is pivotal for a proficient dexterity of the hand. By modulating the grip force
in function of the quick and not completely predictable change of the load force, grabbed …

Despite many real-world examples where skin and muscle receptors must function in
concert to support movement control, responses based on these sensory modalities are …

During voluntary motor acts, potential perturbations due to transient external forces are
counteracted very quickly by short-and long-latency stretch reflexes (SLSR and LLSR …

Timely reaction to perturbation is important in activities of daily living. Modulation of reaction
time to and early recovery from perturbation via vibrotactile noise was investigated. It was …
