Resumo: | In human movement, synergies occur when two or more variables co-vary to stabilize a performance goal. The concept of motor redundancy is associated with the existence of several strategies to complete the same task, which enables a movement system to adapt to an ever-changing environment. This feature provides the system with the ability of being flexible enough to produce adaptive movements, but also stable enough to produce acceptable outputs which is a key issue in motor performance. In a kinetic chain of movement, two proximal joints might reciprocally compensate to stabilize an end-effector (i.e., the most distal segment in the limb that interacts with the environment). End-effector variables are 'controlled', and directly linked to performance, whereas the task relevant elements are allowed by the system to have high variability, providing adaptability. In basketball dribbling, we hypothesized that shoulder and elbow variability contributes to stabilize the dribble height as an end-effector performance variable. A specific computational procedure based on the UCM (i.e., Uncontrolled Manifold) notion was used to capture synergies in two groups according to the experience level: amateurs and professionals. Results identified synergy presence during the basketball dribbling, which only occurred when the wrist reached its peak height. The control of the wrist peak height is achieved due to a reciprocal compensation between shoulder and elbow which stabilizes the dribbling height. |

In human movement, synergies occur when two or more variables co-vary to stabilize a performance goal. The concept of motor redundancy is associated with the existence of several strategies to complete the same task, which enables a movement system to adapt to an ever-changing environment. This feature provides the system with the ability of being flexible enough to produce adaptive movements, but also stable enough to produce acceptable outputs which is a key issue in motor performance. In a kinetic chain of movement, two proximal joints might reciprocally compensate to stabilize an end-effector (i.e., the most distal segment in the limb that interacts with the environment). End-effector variables are 'controlled', and directly linked to performance, whereas the task relevant elements are allowed by the system to have high variability, providing adaptability. In basketball dribbling, we hypothesized that shoulder and elbow variability contributes to stabilize the dribble height as an end-effector performance variable. A specific computational procedure based on the UCM (i.e., Uncontrolled Manifold) notion was used to capture synergies in two groups according to the experience level: amateurs and professionals. Results identified synergy presence during the basketball dribbling, which only occurred when the wrist reached its peak height. The control of the wrist peak height is achieved due to a reciprocal compensation between shoulder and elbow which stabilizes the dribbling height. |
