STRUCTURE OF MOTOR VARIABILITY
Kyung Koh
BACKGROUND Motor variability A commonly seen features in human movements Bernstein “repetition without repetition” In the past, motor variability is thought to be the result of error.
Scholz and Schöner (2002) developed the uncontrolled manifold analysis (UCM) Variability which creates error Variability which does not

MOTOR SYNERGIES Motor Synergies in UCM Ratio of Vucm and Vorth are commonly used to measure synergies
STUDIES: MOTOR SYNERGIES
SUMMARY There exists motor synergy Task-specific co-variation of effectors with the purpose to stabilize a performance variable (or minimize task error ) (Latash 2002).
The CNS uses all the available DOFs to generate families of equivalent solutions. DOFs work together to achieve a goal by compensating for each errors. (Gelfand and Tsetlin 1967).
BENEFITS OF HAVING GREATER VARIABILITY IN UCM Greater Variability in UCM space The system is redundant. More DoFs than necessary to perform a particular task (e.g., F1 + F2 = 10N). During walking on an uneven surface, DOFs at the foot create variety of configuration to maintain stability.
Extra DOFs allows a system to be more flexible (e.g. when get injured) 24 DoF 1 DoF
