Hi, the best studies about this subject are the articles of Pierre-Marie Gagey, Do, Brice Isableu, Theophile Ohlmann, Gurfinkel...

Hi Marcelo,

I'm not sure I've really understood what you're after with your question, which appears to be phrased somewhat "general" in a rather radical sense.

However, perhaps you might want to look at the "posture - movement" -relation from different perspectives. Then you might want to consider, among other aspects, 

(a) the idea of sequentisal goal-oriented movements being organized on the basis of stored postures of the respective goal-specific configurations of the end-effector resp. the involved multi-joint effectors. See, e.g., work by Rosenbaum and his colleagues:

- Rosenbaum DA, Meulenbroek RJ, Vaughan J (1999) Remembered positions: Stored locations or stored postures? Exp Brain Res 124:503–512.

- Rosenbaum DA, Cohen RG, Dawson AM, Jax SA, Meulenbroek RG, van der Wel R et al (2009) The posture-based motion planning framework: new findings related to object manipulation, moving around obstacles, moving in three spatial dimensions, and haptic tracking. Adv Exp Med Biol 629:485–497. 

- Rosenbaum DA, Cohen RG,  Jax SA, Weiss DJ,  van der Wel R et al. (2007) The problem of serial order in behavior: Lashley's legacy. Hum Mov Sci 26: 525-554.

(b) the dependence of locomotor development/movement control on the development and availability of different posture-related "frames of reference". See,e.g., work by Assaiante and colleagues:

- Assaiante, C. & Amblard, B. (1995). An ontogenetic model for the sensorimotor organization of balance control in humans. Human Movement Science, 14, 13-43.

- Assaiante, C., Mallau, S., Viel, S., Jover, M. & Schmitz, C. (2005). Development of postural control in healthy children: a functional approach. Neural Plasticity, 12, 109-118.

- Assaiante, C., Woollacott, M. H. & Amblard, B. (2000). Development of postural adjustment during gait initiation: kinematic and EMG analysis. Journal of Motor Behavior, 32, 21-216.

Maybe this helps...

Hi Marcelo.

I think tasks that envolve movement transitions such as sit-to-walk tas, and gait initiation might help you. Moreover, I suggest to read papers written by D.Winter, that can explain motor behaviour in these aspects. Any doubt we can discuss about.

Paulo Pelicioni.

Thanks for your responses!

However, I need of a most specific material (i.e., the studies of Aruin, Latash or Winter). Preferably I prefer that you send me the recent papers.

In addition, Can anyone send me the digital version of the Winter's classic book,  Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement? 

Sincerely yours.

Marcelo,

pass me you email.

Dear Julie,

No pb. If you have any suggestion, you can send me, please!

Thanks.
