This field borrows heavily from psychology, neuromuscular physiology, control theory, dynamical systems, optimization theory, biomechanics, information theory, computational neuroscience, and cognitive science. Motor control is typically studied at the muscular or the behavioral level. Typical measurements are muscle activations, forces and displacements. <\/p>\n<p>Our group is currently involved in the motor control of bipedal balance, reaching\/pointing, and prehensile behaviors in health, aging, and disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motor control is a young research field in biology.
