Abstract
A recurring theme of the previous five chapters has been a consideration of control strategies for goal-directed movements involving one of the upper limbs. In each chapter specific classes of tasks were considered. For each task, specific instructions were given to adult subjects who presumably complied as well as possible with the stated task goals. Their movement strategies were a function of a specific neuromusculoskeletal apparatus which had been tuned through years of constant use. Their performance, however, was also a function of many hard-to-define variables, including “mood”, perception of instructions, the amount of practice, the level of mental and/or physical fatigue, and choice of limb. These factors contribute to intra- and intersubject variability. As pointed out in Chapter 34 (Pedotti and Crenna), however, such variability may be related to different strategies as opposed to “noise” about a single strategy.
