THIS CHAPTER’S CONCEPT
Theories about how we control coordinated movement differ in terms of the roles of central and environmental features of a control system
![Page 3: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Motor Control All motor controls attempt to explain how we
control coordination and reduce the degrees of freedom problem.

Concept 6: Movement-Related Coordination Measures
A person performs a motor skills in a specific time (temporal) and space (spatial). One way to measure a person perfoming is create a graphic
angle-angle plot of the movement joints. Angle (X) – angle (Y) plot at specific times during the
movement can be compared (cross correlation). Another way is a person repeats a movement pattern for a certain
amount of time (relative phase). From repeating the movement one can gain a sense of the
relative timing of the movement phase. Phases of the movement (parts of movement) can be
described by a displacement-velocity graph of the temporal and spatial characteristics.

DEGREES OF FREEDOM PROBLEM How does the body (muscles and joints) move
independently in one or more planes to carry out a desired movement?
From the start to the end of movement we need to solve the degree of freedom problem, that is, be able to control the body to produce the desired movement within any given situation.
Motor control theory account for how the nervous system solves the degrees of freedom problem
![Page 7: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A Closer Look 792 muscles in the human body 100 joints Joints can move in many different planes
If you pick up a drinking glass that involves the shoulder joint (1), elbow joint (1), wrist joint (1), and all fingers (3 joints x 4 = 12 joints)I and thumb (3) joints. The total is 18 joints that need to be controlled.

How is movement controlled once?? The answer lies in:
“does the motor program contain all the information needed to carry out the action from start to finish or are continuous adjustments made to the movement based on response-produced feedback.”
![Page 9: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What wait? Does it not depend on the type of task….

Open & Closed Loop Control If the motor program contains all the information
needed to carry out the action the movement operates under open loop control.
If one while performing is continually registering and evaluating the accuracy of the movement then the movement is being controlled through closed loop control
![Page 12: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Closed Loop Control of Executed Motor Program
1.Uses feedback to control movement
2. Motor program only contains initial movement instructions
![Page 13: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Open loop control of executed motor program
1.Feedback is available cannot be used because of ballistic nature of the task.
2.Motor program sent includes all the information necessary to carryout the movement.
![Page 14: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Application When we first learn or relearn a motor skill, all
performers operate in a closed loop fashion. Need for feedback Need for instruction
As we become better at the motor skill we switch to more open loop control. We need to provide variety in practicing the skill
in differing real-life situations.
![Page 15: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Difference between Open & Closed
Closed Feedback is used to
update the system Movement
instructions only include information related to the initiation of the movement.
Open Feedback is there
but cannot be used.
Movement information includes all commands necessary to carry out the skill.

Theories of Motor Control Motor program theory
Instruction are specified by the CNS Control process is managed by a motor program Motor program organizes, initiates, and carries out
intended actions Linear changes in movement behavior
Dynamic System Theory Instructions are influenced by environment and
interaction of the body, limb, and nervous system Nonlinear changes in movement in behavior
![Page 18: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

MOTOR PROGRAM BASED THEORY
Hierarchical Oriented Theory Has a command-based center Solves the degree of freedom problem through
the motor program
![Page 19: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

MOTOR PROGRAM Proposed by Schmidt and is defined as a abstract
representation of a movement plan, stored in memory, that contains all the motor commands required to carry out the intended action.
One does not needs a motor program for each skill. Represents elements about patterns of movements (class
of actions) that can be modified to yield various response outcomes Some elements of GNP are fixed (invariant) Some elements of GNP are flexible (parameters)
![Page 20: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Fixed Vs. Flexible Features
ON a blank sheet of lined paper write your name according to the following instructions:
1. With your dominant hand 2. With your non-dominant hand 3. Holding the pen/pencil in your mouth 4. Holding the pen/pencil in your toes
![Page 21: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
What did we learn from this exercise? You have elicited a general motor program that
enabled you to write your name in different ways!
There were underlying invariant features that did not change regardless of how you wrote your name. But needed to adapt (parameters) to writing with different parts of your body.
![Page 22: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
INVARIANT FEATURES (Fixed) Regardless of how your wrote your name several
underlining features of your signature remained constant.
Fixed features are similar to fingerprints (can identify each of us)
Three Common Invariant Features 1. Relative timing 2. Relative force used 3. Sequence of actions or components
![Page 23: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Invariant features (continued) Regardless of the constraints, you spelled your
name the same way every time. If you name is Spike, the “p” always follow the S.
Regardless where the ball is set, the approach, jump, arm swing, and ball contact must be sequentially executed.
The sequence of action or order of the components is an invariant characteristic.
![Page 24: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Invariant Features (continued) The components of a skill occur in a specific order,
but they are also relate to one another in certain invariant way. relative timing (internal rhythm of the skill) relative force (similar internal ratio of forces)
![Page 25: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Swimming example of relative force and timing Arm movement in freestyle stroke consists of 5
components. 35% is accounted by the entry 13% is accounted by the catch 08% is accounted by the mid-pull 12% is accounted by the finish 32% is accounted by the recovery
These percentages remain the same regardless of the frequency in relative timing and force
![Page 26: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Relative Timing
26
![Page 27: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
PARAMETERS Defines how to execute the program Changes from situation to situation Changes from one trial to another Includes
1. Time can increase or decrease (overall duration)
2. The size of the movement can increase or decrease (overall force)
3. Specification of Muscles & Limbs used
![Page 28: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Common Question? The use of overweight implements is a common
training method for conditioning in many sports. Throwers use heavier shots and javelins than normal in competition; hitters swing heavier than normal bats. Does this technique involve a manipulation of invariant features or parameters?
![Page 29: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
In short, motor program Consists of pre structured set of motor commands
that are constructed at the highest cortical levels and then conveyed to the lowest centers in the hierarchy responsible for executing the movement.
![Page 30: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
The schema connection A short stop is able to throw to different bases
from various positions on the fly by assigning appropriate parameters values to the motor program.
But how does the performer know exactly how much force or how fast the ball should be thrown? The answer is the second aspect of Schmidt’s
theory, that is the development of a schema
![Page 31: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Schema Connection Schema is a set of rules that guides decision
making about the goal of the skill. - it directs the decision making when a
performer is faced with a movement problem
- it results from experiences with the movement (class of action)
![Page 32: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Performing a skill…. Each time you perform a skill, you abstract 4 pieces of
information. The environmental conditions as movement begins (initial
conditions) The specific requirements of the movement (response
specifications…speed and/or force) Sensory consequence of the movement (e.g., how it felt,
appeared) The outcome of the movement (e.g., comparing the actual
outcome to intended outcome. Were you successful or not successful?)
![Page 33: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Schema & Performing…. The schema begins to develop when we group
and store these 4 types of information. With each additional movement attempt the
schema become stronger. As we practice the movement two related but
separate schema’s develop that help us perform the movement from trial to trial and in different situations.
![Page 34: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Occurs through two mechanisms
Recall schema: organizing the motor program so it can initiate the movement and control the movement. It up dates the system!!!
Recognition schema: assess and compare the outcome using sensory information. – It revises the system!!!
![Page 35: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
How do we improve? With every attempt, the recall schema updates the
instruction to the muscles based on the recognition schema (continually revises the initial conditions, past outcomes, & past sensory consequences) which leads to a more accurate response.
![Page 36: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Application The environmental conditions as
movement begins (initial conditions) The specific requirements of the
movement (response specifications…speed and/or force)
Sensory consequence of the movement (e.g., how it felt, appeared)
The outcome of the movement (e.g., comparing the actual outcome to intended outcome. Were you successful or not successful?)
Stress initial conditions
Provide variety of the practice situation and variables
Develop awareness
Provide an environment were the outcome is apparent/subject engage in self-evaluation
![Page 37: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Empirical Support If a motor program organizes the details of the movement in
advance, it seem logical that a task increasing in complexity, the amount of time needed to organize the motor program would increase!
Henry & Roger Study tested this notion: lifting a finger from a key lifting a finger from a key plus grasp the ball lifting a finger from a key then grasp the ball, then striking
the ball.
![Page 38: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Dynamic System Theory Also know as dynamical system
theory, ecological theory, and action theory
Sometime referred to the “constraint led approach” to developing motor and sport skills.
![Page 39: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Dynamic System Theory
Very different from Motor Program Theory Nonlinear changes in motor behavior A movement pattern emerges (self-organizes) as
a function of the ever-changing constraints placed upon it.
All the information for movement is found in the environment and can be directly observed by the individual
![Page 40: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Dynamic Systems Theory Theorists advocate that there is an integration of
small systems (e.g. biological, muscular, skeletal, neurological) cooperatively functioning together to meet the environmental demands.
Cooperation of the small systems has no “supreme commander”
The smaller systems cooperate and interact with each other to produce movement or through self-organization.
![Page 41: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Self-organization A movement pattern emerges as function of the
ever-changing constraints placed on the learner.
Movement is then a function of the system self-organizing the available degrees of freedom into a single functional unit that is designed to carry out a specific task.
![Page 42: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
What is a constraint? They limit the movement capabilities of the
individual (Newell, 1986). Structure or functional: body shape, weight,
height, emotional, cognitive, etc. Environmental: gravity, temperature, light, wind,
etc. Wind effects the force and direction of the throwing a discuss.
Task constraints: rules of the game, goal of the task, and the implements (i.e. size, shape, weight) manipulated.
![Page 43: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
DPT Concept: Attractor States The individual, the task, and environment all effect the
system in how it self-organizes.
We prefer stable, coordinated, and energy efficient movement. This state is known as attractor state.
Attractor – A stable state of the motor control system that leads to behavior according to preferred coordination patterns.
![Page 44: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Attractor States (continued) It is the preferred behavioral state
E.g., we like to walk at certain pace Transition from one movement pattern to
another occurs automatically and spontaneously. E.g., from walking to a run occurs automatically
and spontaneously Attractor states represents the coordination
pattern which is the most stable and energy-efficient.
44
![Page 45: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Attractor State (continued) When a change in constraints occur, the stability
of the system is endanger!
Because the movement pattern becomes a combination of the old and new techniques.
With practice, the movement pattern will reorganize and the new technique will begin to take over and stability is regained.

46
DST Concepts: Order & Control parameters These are variables responsible for and associated with
coordination of the movement
1. Order parameters or collective variables. This variable enable a coordinated pattern to be reproduced and distinguished from other patterns.
2. Control parameters represents the variable that when manipulated will influence the stability and may or may not change the order parameter.
![Page 47: MOTOR CONTROL THEORIES - University of Minnesota Duluthdmillsla/courses/motorlearning/... · The patterning of head, body, ... Motor control theory account for how the nervous](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022015/5b5409b87f8b9ae30b8cb4db/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
DST concept: Order parameter The most prominent of the order parameters is
the “relative phase” for rhythmic movements. Relative phase is an index of the coordination
between two limb segments or limbs during performing a cyclic movement.
When running, what is the relationship between right and left arms or right and left legs? E.g., Are they moving in-phase or out-of-phase?

DST Concept: Control Parameter Control parameters are variables that are
manipulated and may or may not affect order parameters (in phase or out-of-phase coordinated movement)
Manipulating control parameters can move the performer into a new attractor state. -Direction, force, speed, and perceptual information are some examples of control parameters.

DST concept: Coordinative Structures This aspect relates to how we control movement.
Constraints cause one to use specific muscles and joints in different ways to produce a movement pattern (skill).
Muscles and joints need to work cooperatively (coordinative structures)
When the muscles and joints work cooperatively it reduces the degrees of freedom problem.
Coordinative structure (a.k.a., muscle synergies) develop through practice to produce an action.

Perceptual-Action Coupling The view emphasizes the interaction between
the performer and the physical environment. The outcome and skilled performance is
dependent upon one’s perception (information) about the situation. E.g., Is the object moving or stationary E.g., Am I stationary or moving E.g., The speed, size, and color of the object E.g., Tau (time to contact)

DSP Concept: Relearning a patient to walk! Patient broke their hip and initial attempts to walk left the
patient walking with a limp (attractor state at this point in recovery).
The patient will display a given gait pattern as result of the present constraints imposed him or her . E.g., Structure constraints are lower leg strength and
weight. - E.g.,Task constraints is slow speed of gait, small stride
length, and walking with a limp. - E.g.,Environmental constraints walking on different
surfaces and in different situation are difficult.

DST Concept: Relearning a patient to walk! Physical Therapist manipulates (e.g., weight training) the
patient’s legs to become stronger which leads to changes in the walk (order parameters). - Increases in lower body strength through strength
training is a control parameter Walking improves (coordinative structures) through practice
- Coordinative structures is where the constraints placed upon the client changes how the muscles and joints work in a coordinated manner.
- In the practice one manipulates structural (strength), all different environmental (perceptual action coupling) and task constraints (speeds) causes the client to move to a new gait pattern (attractor state).

Relearning a patient to walk! In short, through a well designed rehab program or practice
where structure, environmental and task constraints are manipulated causes the client to self-organize (walk faster with a longer stride with no limp).
Remember self-organization is where a movement pattern emerges as function of the ever-changing constraints placed on the learner.
Therefore it is said that the Dynamic System Theory is a constraint-led approach to acquisition of motor and sport skills.

Client Choice Let the client or students at each station
practice the movement without prior demonstration or instruction.
Movement specialist role is to observe and assess the student stable and unstable movement (attractor states) based upon movement form (desired or not desired) and developmental (immature and mature) stages.

Manipulating Performer,task, and Environment
The client is encourage to choose how they want to perform the movement.
The movement specialist then changes the environment, task, or performer constraints.

PRESENT STATE OF THE CONTROL THEORY ISSUE Opinions vary to resolve the motor control
theory debate Some believe motor program theory will be
subsumed into dynamic pattern theory At this point, motor control theory is still the
predominate theory of motor control
