Head, Shoulders and Hips Behaviors during Turning

Abstract : Turning behavior is part of the basic library of motor synergies. It involves a complex interplay between the different body parts. In this study, we investigate the behavior of shoulders, hips and head during walking and turning tasks with various emotional states and different angles. We found that shoulders and hips follow a strong linear relationship during turning with different angles and styles of walk, while the head behavior is affected by these variables.
