Through the assessment of quantitative indexes, this work focused on the biomechanical analysis of the upper limb redundancy and motor coordination during a reach-to-grasp movement. Based on the Uncontrolled Manifold approach, we considered, on one hand, a particular aspect of the synergies, i.e. the covaration of elemental variables of a system that lead to a stabilization of a particular performance variable. In this framework, it was hypothesized that degrees of freedom were not frozen as suggested by Bernstein but combined in order to ensure performance and stability. On the other hand, we used a robotic index, the manipulability, allowing the assessment of wrist displacement capacities during the grasping task. The aim of the present w...
