Motor Control LabSupervisorGerald Gottlieb, Research Professor MembersSerge Roy, Research Professor DescriptionThe Motor Control Lab is supervised by Professor Gerald L. Gottlieb. It is dedicated to the study of voluntary control of human limbs. The aim is to partition and characterize the three major determinants of movement: higher motor centers, reflex mechanism, and muscle properties. A specially designed servomotor powered manipulandum is used to study single-joint movements of the upper limb. Additionally, an OPTOTRAK system is used to study unconstrained movements of the arms and body. Both normal motor control and the behavior of patients with diverse movement disorders are explored.
