KIN 423 Lecture 10: Lecture 10
Document Summary
Lecture 10: interlimb coordination: coordination, definition: the ability to coordinate parts of the body into functional activities, when the target is specified, the cns has to choose the limbs to perform the task, the kinematic structure of the oncoming movement, and torques at the joints for movement implementation, two types of coordination, inter limb coordination. Other behaviors require years of intensive practice like those listed above: tying your laces: evidence for constraints: tapping activity in class, regular rhythm left hand, faster rhythm right hand, distinguishing between easy and difficult coordination patterns, transitions during i. Increasing movement speed: dual task paradigm (counting backwards during movement, transitions show low stability of the pattern, so easy coordination patterns = high stability, difficult coordination patterns = low stability, stability of coordination pattern, features of low stability, deviations from the pattern, variability, transitions to other patterns, how these can be quantitatively assessed, quantification of coordination, relative phase as a characteristic of coordination.
