416 – The Development of Motor Synergies & the Influence of Constraints

Aug 30, 2022

How do motor synergies develop when we learning to catch a ball? How is this development shaped by the constraints imposed on the performer such as the information available during practice, the actions catching is nested within like postural control, and disorders like DCD ?
