Journal ArticleDOI
Motor control strategies revealed in the structure of motor variability.
TL;DR: An uncontrolled manifold hypothesis is described, which suggests a particular solution for the notorious problem of motor redundancy and shows its ability to discover biological strategies of the coordination of apparently redundant motor systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrathecal Baclofen for Severe Spinal Spasticity
Richard D. Penn,S. M. Savoy,Daniel M. Corcos,Mark L. Latash,G. L. Gottlieb,B. Parke,Jeffrey S. Kroin +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that intrathecal baclofen is an effective long-term treatment for spinal spasticity that has not responded to oral bacl ofen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a New Theory of Motor Synergies
TL;DR: A refined concept of synergy as a neural organization that ensures a one-to-many mapping of variables providing for both stability of important performance variables and flexibility of motor patterns to deal with possible perturbations and/or secondary tasks is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Joint stiffness: Myth or reality?
TL;DR: The notion of joint stiffness as commonly studied in biomechanics and motor control is compared with the physical definition of stiffness and different terms are suggested in order to differentiate between experimentally observed relations between joint angle and torque that are likely to have different nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directional specificity of postural muscles in feed-forward postural reactions during fast voluntary arm movements
TL;DR: It is suggested that the proximal muscles produce a general pattern of postural adjustments, while distal muscles take care of fine adjustments that are more likely to vary across subjects.
