Effect of Sex on the Coordination Patterns of Athletes During Dynamic Activities
… the purpose of this study was to compare coordination patterns between man and woman collegiate athletes during static and dynamic activities. Thirty healthy collegiate division-one man and woman athletes participated. They completed a battery of tasks, including the single-leg squat and …

Identifying Student Learning Styles Using the Movement Aspects of Wetzig Coordination Patterns
… an examination of the movement aspects of Wetzig Coordination Patterns (CP) as described by Elizabeth M. Wetzig and relating it to the identification of children’s learning styles as seen through that movement.</p> <p>Movement can be used to determine the learning style in which a child is …

Analysis of human coordination patterns between a younger and older age group during the timed up and go test
… was performed to understand lower limb movement patterns between older and young adults, and to explore a new metric of coordination. Lower limb and torso movement in an older and younger population was captured using both IMU sensors and an optical tracking system. Only data from the optical …

Evaluating Coordination and Variability Within Collegiate Basketball Players Using Vector Coding
… level. Vector coding, a qualitative analysis of coordination, may be the better answer for assessing differences in strategy from a coordination point of view. Thus, the purpose of this project was to observe coordination patterns and variability of those patterns in collegiate basketball players …

Quantifying Joint Coordination Variability in Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Reconstructed Individuals During Walking
… based on dynamical systems theory to quantify coordination and account for the interaction between joints in the lower extremity. The purpose of the study was to quantify and compare joint coordination variability and joint coordination patterns between individuals with ACLR and matched …

Multidimensional exploration of bimanual coordination
Bimanual coordination was examined in three experiments. Both spatial and temporal influences on bimanual movement coordination were investigated. Experiment 1 examined the coordination of symmetrical movement patterns, Experiment 2 examined voluntary transitions between coordination patterns, and …

Quantifying coordination of human gait : fall risk and effects of aging
… hardship among older adults. Compromised coordination, defined as a decrease in the ability to properly time the motion of body segments with one another, is thought to be one factor contributing to the high rate of falls in older populations. Thus, coordination is often used by clinicians …

EMG-EMG Coherence Analysis of Elbow and Shoulder Muscles
Motor coordination can be described by the activation of a few intermuscular coordination patterns, or muscle synergies. Muscle synergy can be defined as a relatively fixed pattern of activation across a set of muscles. The neural mechanisms underlying muscle synergies remain to be fairly unknown. …

Neuromuscular modularity and behavioral correlates of motor control
… Among these principles, I focused on muscular coordination patterns, motor cortical excitability, and sensorimotor interactions. I found that muscle activity in grasping and reaching behaviors could be reconstructed by linear combinations of a small number of time-varying muscle synergies, each …

Biomechanical Golf Swing Analysis using Markerless Three-Dimensional Skeletal Tracking through Truncation-Robust Heatmaps
… Preliminary analysis suggests that joint coordination patterns and temporal characteristics of body segment angular velocities may reveal quantifiable insights into the kinematic sequence, laying the groundwork for further research and instructional applications. Ultimately, this thesis …

Movement constraints on interpersonal coordination and communication
… constraining movement affects interpersonal coordination and cognitive performance. Participants worked in pairs to complete a series of cooperative picture-puzzle tasks in which they discussed and found differences between their respective puzzles relying only on verbal communication. Pairs …

Principal Component Analyses of Joint Angle Curves to Examine Lifting Technique
… of its effect on lifting technique, interjoint coordination, and whether sex modulates these effects and 2) to explore the use of principal component analysis (PCA) as a method to investigate lifting waveforms. Thirty participants (15M, 15F) completed a freestyle, symmetrical lifting protocol …

Keeping it together: the effect of familiarity, personality, and active interactions on group coordination
Group coordination is a universal feature of social life. Animals form social groups for a variety of reasons, including predator evasion and more efficient foraging, and individuals living in social groups must coordinate their activities in order for groups to function. Consequently, the factors …

Modeling temporal coordination in speech production using an artificial central pattern generator neural network
… and more recently, some suprasegmental timing patterns. This dissertation explores how different levels of phonological organization (the gesture, syllable, stress group, and phrase) are coordinated in speech production by measuring the effects of that coordination on acoustic and behavioral …

Topology of Social and Managerial Networks
… yield a new classification built on high order coordination patterns. Our results show that topology can provide novel insights relevant for many-body interactions in social and spatial networks. In the fifth chapter of the thesis, we develop new insights in the mathematical setting underlying …
