Approaches to human arm movement control - A review

Abstract Human arm movement control theories are reviewed in the current work. The paper addresses the main paradigms that have been used in modeling studies of human arm movement control and details the models that resulted from each approach. The main motivation of the paper is to provide the background knowledge produced by the Control and Computational Modeling communities that may contribute to the development of new rehabilitation methods and devices in a more principled way. With this goal in mind, the main insights coming from the analysis of these computational models are identified and their potential relevance for the rehabilitation practice is described.
