Skilful motor performance means producing the optimal response in a context involving external and internal constraints. The external constraints are those imposed by the environmental conditions under which the action is performed such as the gravitational forces, the reaction forces from the supporting surfaces, imposed accelerations and obstacles. The internal constraints are those which originate from the body itself: the geometrical configuration of the body segments, the inertial characteristics of the segments and the internal forces associated with muscle contraction. The central organization of a motor skill takes into account all the external and internal constraints. It requires long term learning as the result of which these constraints are predicted in the central control of the motor act.In an intentional complex multijoint action, such as grasping an object while standing, many components can be identified which contribute to the performance as a whole: reaching the goal with the hand, gazing at the target, stabilizing posture, maintaining equilibrium. Central control involves multiple parallel commands, each fulfilling a given goal, and these controls are coordinated in order to be integrated into the same act (Arbib, 1981). When attempting to identify the various components of the action, one approach consists of determining which goals are controlled at the same time during the motor act. Actually, two main types of control with respect to a goal can be identified which subserve different and opposite functions. The first type of control consists of maintaining a reference value against external or internal disturbances. The reference value can be the position of a
