Hybrid System Identification of Manual Tracking Submovements in Parkinson's Disease
… with a joystick input) are actually sequences of submovements: short, open-loop motions that have been previously learned. In Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative movement disorder, characterizations of motor performance can yield insight into underlying neurological mechanisms and therefore …

Evolution of movement smoothness and submovement patterns in persons with stroke
… suggesting that progressive blending of submovements underlies stroke recovery. Submovements are hypothesized fundamental building blocks of human movement. All available evidence is consistent with their existence and no other theory has been proposed that can fully account for observed …

Modeling cerebrocerebellar control in horizontal planar arm movements of humans and the monkey
… observed more than a century ago. Since then, submovements, which have been identified by non-smooth speed profiles, have been described in many types of movements. However, physiological origins of submovement have not been well understood. This thesis demonstrates that a currently proposed …

A study of motor control in healthy subjects and in Parkinson's disease patients
… and harmonicity, number and type of submovements (movement primitives) fit per movement cycle, and the effects of vision on intermittency were used to support the model we propose, whereby there exist two subtypes of rhythmic movement; small-amplitude, high-frequency movements are …

A Dynamic Primitives Hypothesis: a Descriptive Model of Human Physical Interaction
… dynamic behaviors, including oscillations, submovements, and mechanical impedance. We not only propose that these `building blocks' exist but that their connectivity is important -- a Norton equivalent network. This thesis is composed of four components that systematically investigated this …
