Amplitude (cm) MOTOR BEHAVIOR: CONSTRAINED AMPLITUDE / VELOCITY AMPLITUDE / DURATION Gordon et al. (1994)
Gordon et al. (1994) MOTOR BEHAVIOR: CONSTRAINED KINEMATIC INVARIANCE
MOTOR BEHAVIOR: CONSTRAINED CONSTRAINTS ACROSS DIRECTIONS Gordon et al. (1994)
MOTOR BEHAVIOR: CONSTRAINED SPEED VS ACCURACY Fitts (1954) Jeannerod (1988)
MOTOR BEHAVIOR: FLEXIBLE INDEPENDENT CONTROL OF KINEMATICS AND ACCURACY Gribble et al. (2003)
KNOWN PRINCIPLES OC: optimal control - OFC: optimal feedback control - SOFC: stochastic OFC EPT: equilibrium-point theory - SDN: signal-dependent noise - SEN: state-estimation noise
CURRENT PRINCIPLES • Optimal feedback control Constraints: to reach the goal (zero-error) Objective (cost): to minimize the controls (effort) • Constant effort For given instructions, all movements are performed with the same effort • Cocontraction as an independent parameter • State-estimation noise Inaccuracy in estimation of position and velocity Increases with velocity Decreases with cocontraction (fusimotor control)
OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEM No static forces. No viscosity. Same formulation for OFC. Solved numerically (Bryson 1999). Muscles as force generator. No force/length effects. No force/velocity effects. No stretch reflex. No biarticular muscles.
EMGs SHOULDER ELBOW
KINEMATIC INVARIANCE Also holds for changes in inertial load.
SHOULDER ELBOW KINEMATICS & ACCURACY • Same amplitude • Same duration • Similar kinematics • Different accuracy • - OFC + SEN • - Estimation of endpoint position: linear forward model • Gaussian noise on velocity • Variability: determinant of terminal covariance matrix

SUMMARY • Known principlesOPTIMAL FEEDBACK CONTROL STATE-ESTIMATION NOISE Trajectory EMG Speed/accuracy Central command • New principlesCONSTANT EFFORT COCONTRACTION Amplitude/duration Kinematic invariance Constraints across directions Kinematics/accuracy
DISCUSSION • Kinematic invariance Without desired trajectory. • Constant effort Movements are selected not by minimizing a cost, but by choosing a cost level • Limitations / Extensions - Static forces - Limitations of force control (Ostry&Feldman 2003) - Accuracy/stability: viscoelastic properties - Adaptation to force fields and inertial loads
