Article Abstract
Tightly coordinated grip force adaptations in response to changing load forces have been reported as continuous, stable, and proportional to the load force changes. Considering the existence of inherent sensorimotor feedback delays, current accounts of grip force-load force coupling invoke explicit predictive mechanisms in the form of internal models for feedforward control to account for anticipatory grip force modulations. However, recent findings suggest that the stability and regularity of grip force-load force coupling is less persistent than previously thought. Thus, the objective of the current study was to comprehensively quantify the time-varying characteristics of grip force-load force coupling. Investigations into the coupling's dynamics during continuous 30 s bouts of load force oscillation revealed intermittent phases of coordination, as well as phases that varied in stability, rather than a persistent and continuously stable pattern of coordination. These findings have important implications for accounts of grip force-load force coupling and of anticipation in motor control, more broadly.

Post-stroke deficits in the anticipatory control and bimanual coordination during naturalistic cooperative bimanual action.

Background: Unilateral stroke leads to asymmetric deficits in movement performance; yet its effects on naturalistic bimanual actions, a key aspect of everyday functions, are understudied. Particularly, how naturalistic bimanual actions that require the two hands to cooperatively interact with each other while manipulating a single common object are planned, executed, and coordinated after stroke is not known. In the present study, we compared the anticipatory planning, execution, and coordination of force between individuals with left and right hemisphere stroke and neurotypical controls in a naturalistic bimanual common-goal task, lifting a box.

Humans closely coordinate the grip force exerted on a hand-held object with changes in the load arising from the object's dynamics. Recent work suggests the grip force is responsive to the predictability of the load forces as well. The well-known grip-force-load-force coupling is intermittent when the load arising from volitional movements fluctuates predictably, whereas grip force increases when loads are unpredictable.

Soft actuators, as an important part of soft robotics, have attracted significant attention due to their inherent compliance, flexibility and safety. However, low capacity in force and load limits their applications. Prestored elastic energy can improve the capacity in output force and load of soft actuators.

Stability is the ability of a system to maintain a desired static or dynamic motor pattern. Maneuverability, on the other hand, is the ability to transition between motor patterns, and it is antagonistic to stability. Animals frequently reduce the stability of an ongoing task to facilitate anticipated movement transitions.

The grip force applied to maintain grasp of a handheld object has been typically reported as tightly coupled to the load force exerted by the object as it is actively manipulated, occurring proportionally and consistently in phase with changes in load force. However, continuous grip force-load force coupling breaks down when overall load force levels and oscillation amplitudes are lower (Grover F, Lamb M, Bonnette S, Silva PL, Lorenz T, Riley MA. 236: 2531-2544, 2018) or more predictable (Grover FM, Nalepka P, Silva PL, Lorenz T, Riley MA.
