grantor: University of TorontoThe kinematic properties, postural electromyographic (EMG) profiles and ground reaction forces were characterized in the context of a visual reaching task in standing and sitting body positions to address the question: does the center of pressure (COP) excursion and the underlining postural muscle activation pattern relative to the onset of the primary mover (anterior deltoid) differ if a rapid reaching movement is externally-triggered (EX) or self-initiated (SI)? With the same motor performance as measured by peak wrist velocity, differences seen in the spatial and temporal characteristics of the distal lower limb muscle activity (earlier tibialis anterior [TA] onset, smaller onset magnitude for SI) ...
