Tradeoff between Stability and Maneuverability during Whole-Body Movements
Figure 5
Stability-maneuverability tradeoff for individual subjects.
Change in response times (early and late jump-b) versus change in stability margins (late null and late jump-0) for each individual subject. A positive change in response time indicated a faster response time by late target-jump. A positive change in stability margin indicated larger stability margins by late target-jump. Four quadrants characterize changes in movement strategy to be 1) more maneuverable/more stable, 2) more maneuverable/less stable, 3) less maneuverable/less stable, and 4) less maneuverable/more stable. Circles represent subjects (n = 8) who exhibited a stability-maneuverability tradeoff whereas X's represent subjects (n = 3) who did not exhibit the tradeoff.
