Abstract

Latash & Anson's contention that movement patterns that are different from those typically observed in persons without impairments should not be considered abnormal and usually should not be corrected is consistent with Davis & Burton's Ecological Task Analysis (ETA). Extending from the ETA concept of performer-scaled performance measures, the use of Froude numbers may offer insight into the global dynamics of a person's action system.
