Modeling and control of human movement system

Abstract

A human is capable of making various movements under different environments such as highly accurate movements, low accurate movements, ballistic movements and rhythmic movements. These result from the human hierarchical motor control system, which includes highly integrated neural centers in the brain and the spinal cord acting as higher and lower level controllers and information processors, a large number of muscles and bones constructing the actuators required to generate movements, and numerous sensory receptors informing the neural centers of the results of movements and environments.
