Coordination and feedback control
From Scholarpedia
Dr. Joern Diedrichsen accepted the invitation on 16 September 2011
Coordination in the context of motor control refers to the observation that muscle activity and movements across different joints and limbs of the body are dependent on each other. Coordination can be caused by central preprogrammed commands, but also through feedback control. In this case, Coordination arises because the motor systems makes the motor commands to a muscle dependent on sensory information arising from a different limb or joint of the body.
