Upper Body Coordination in Reach Movements Shin-Yuan Yu and Bernard J. Martin Presented at the Annual Meeting of Neuroscience 2009 in Chicago, Society for Neuroscience. Number: 355.8 Reaching is a basic component of human movements which requires the coordination of the eyes and multiple body segments including the hand, forearm, arm and torso. The aim of this study is to develop a model based on the identification and then combination of control phases (feed-forward and feedback) composing reach movements performed at a self imposed speed. Multi-joint arm movements to targets distributed in a horizontal plane were recorded simultaneously with eye movements .Eye gaze direction, field of view and movement kinematics were used to determine coordination principles derived from movement phase transitions associated with the availability of visual feedback. The results revealed that the profile of elbow swivel angle presents a rapid change at the end of reach movements, regardless of target azimuth and distance. The time at which the hand enters the foveal field of view coincides with the occurrence of sudden change in the swivel angle. This suggests a transition in movement control associated with the use of visual feedback. The result also shows that the elbow swivel angle for frontal reach can be modeled by a first-order lag response. The utilization of the swivel angle model allows to solve a degree of freedom redundancy problem and to facilitate modeling of realistic human movements. Furthermore, the analysis of the temporal aspect of reach movements performed at a self-imposed speed show that variations in movement time with target azimuth and distance fit a quadratic regression model. abs2009_07
