Interpersonal motor synergy: coworking strategy depends on task constraints

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the coworking behavior or IPMS when an additional task constraint is imposed. Our proposed analytical framework quantifies IPMS and allows for investigating variability in offline (i.e., across multiple repetitions) and online (i.e., across time) control, which is novel in coworking research. Understanding variability while performing a task is essential, as repeating a task is not always possible, as in therapeutic contexts.
