The Contribution of Visual Feedback to Movement Control in a Visuomotor Tracking Task

The aim of this study was to determine if and how specific characteristics of visual information influence the motor control strategy adopted during a visuomotor tracking task. To this end, twenty healthy subjects and two stroke patients were measured. Changes in wrist joint admittance (i.e., wrist rotations due to external forces) due to...

Neck muscle control patterns in 3D isometric experiments

The better understanding of neuromuscular control of the human neck is of critical importance to understand whiplash injury and neurological movement disorders. Isometric experiments using electromyography (EMG) are an appropriate method to study neuromuscular control patterns of neck muscles. As the human head-neck system is highly complex, it...
