- Abstract:
- The motor control mechanisms adopted by humans when carrying out unstable tasks are investigated in relation with 2 specific paradigms: A) Stabilisation of the standing posture; B) Stabilisation of an inverted pendulum, grasped at different heights. It is shown that stiffness control is present but is insufficient and predictive control mechanisms are filling the gap.
