Special Issue: Movement Biomechanics and Motor Control

Special issue: Progress in shoulder biomechanics.

This special issue presents papers that arose from the bi-annual International Shoulder Group (ISG) meeting in Minneapolis in July 2010. The ISG is a collaboration of mostly biomechanically oriented research groups, whose main interest is in the shoulder. It was founded in 1989 and has been a Technical Group of the International Society of Biomechanics since 1999. The ISG aims to enhance should...

Bridging motor control and biomechanics

Foreword Bridging motor control and biomechanics One can assume that motor control and biomechanics are united by a common goal to understand the basic mechanisms of the coordinated movements. Relationships between motor control and biomechanics are natural and the interdisciplinary research on that field has a long tradition in Poland. The origin can be delineated by the seminar entitled Schoo...

Invited Article for a Special Issue on Motor Control

Various approaches have been followed to date in the theoretical analysis and modeling of human motor functions. Most notable are notions taken from the elds of control engineering, information theory, and various computational approaches. However, several aspects of motor behaviour have not been dealt with in a satisfactory way so far. For example, the spaces of motor degrees of freedom are cu...
