Abstract

A Web-based instructional project for the study of motor coordination is presented. The project includes two components: a tutorial on motor coordination and an interactive digitized video image system developed for the analysis of motion, including topics in biomechanics, motor coordination, motor control, and motor skill. This interactive system allows for the quantitative analysis of stored video images that are accessible from the World-Wide Web. The use of this digitizing system for the measurement and analysis of human locomotion coordination patterns is presented.

Conditions that give rise to phase shifts among the limbs when an animal changes gait are poorly understood and Coordinated shifts appear to arise because of continuous scaling influences that render the existing mode unstable.

This book was written in 1966 as a memorial tribute to Nicholai Alexandrovich Bernstein, the eminent Russian pioneer in cybernetics, made up of a collection of papers presenting models of various physiological systems that summarize a great deal of work not conveniently available elsewhere.

Correlations between limb segment trajectories occurring in the different gaits showed strong coherence for overall step cycle patterns, but within step cycle phases and across speeds, selective phases displayed little correspondence.

A broad definition of "proprioception" is adopted, which includes all somatosensory information related to joint posture and kinematics, which indicates that the CNS is able to extract the necessary kinematic information from proprioceptive input to trigger the hand opening at the correct elbow position.

Cognitive PsychologyThe minimum principle and the perception of absolute, common, and relative motions

134 Citations1982James E. Cutting, Dennis R. Proffítt

It is proposed that any given stimulus can be organized to minimize the complexity of either its common motions or its relative motions; that which component is minimized depends on which of two processes reaches completion first (that for common or that for relative motions).

The results indicated that observation was most significantly influenced by variations in lift velocity, and the kinematic patterns used by 4 lifters with weights varying from 5 to 25 kg were examined.
