Written for an inquisitive reader who is not necessarily a professional in the area of movement studies, this book describes the recent progress in the control and coordination of human movement. The book begins with a brief history of movement studies and reviews the current central controversies in the area of control of movements with an emphasis on the equilibrium-point hypothesis. An operational definition of synergy is introduced and a method of analysis of syn 606 $aHuman mechanics 606 $aBiomechanics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman mechanics. 615 0$aBiomechanics. 676 $a612.7/6 700 $aLatash$b Mark L.$f1953-$0869512 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465829603321 996 $aSynergy$92259525 997 $aUNINA
