Topological relations between postural configuration and manual control performance

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relations between postural configuration during bipedal stance and performance on manual control task. Postural control is influenced by the interaction of the constraints imposed on perceptual motor workspace. The manipulation of any constraints would bring the individual to change the body configuration to maintain stable and efficient body configuration for a given task. It was assumed that when they need to change their body configuration, organisms strive to adopt a control strategy in which minimum energy is expended to maintain a posture that is consistent with the task goal.
