416 – The Development of Motor Synergies & the Influence of Constraints

How do motor synergies develop when we learning to catch a ball? How is this development shaped by the constraints imposed on the performer such as the information available during practice, the actions catching is nested within like postural control, and disorders like DCD ?   Articles: One more time about motor (and non‑motor) synergies Manipulating Visual Informational Constraints during Practice Enhances the Acquisition of Catching Skill in Children Inter-joint coupling and joint angle synergies of human catching movements Spatiotemporal characteristics of muscle patterns for ball catching Effects of Postural Constraints on Children's Catching Behavior Adaptations to Task Constraints in Catching by Boys with DCD Effects of a developmental task constraints intervention on kinematic synergies during two-hand catching in children with developmental delays More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies – Shake\Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com
