“…All our interactions with the outside world are mediated by the activity of our muscles, which generate the driving force underlying all body movements. The precise control of muscle force is, for example, necessary to grasp, lift, and manipulate objects (Gölge et al, 2003;Johansson & Westling, 1990;Nowak, Hermsdörfer, & Topka, 2003). Prominent models of motor behaviour assume that the control of response force provides the link between central control mechanisms and motor action, as the properties of ballistic movements depend on the preceding activity of our muscles (Carlton & Newell, 1993;Schmidt, Zelaznik, Hawkins, Frank, & Quinn, 1979; see also, Rinkenauer, 2000).…”
