    Abstract

    In recent years, uncontrolled manifold (UCM) analysis has emerged as an important method to study variability of human movements. The current study investigated the upper extremity movements during typical assembly tasks using the framework of the UCM analysis. Younger and older participants performed machine-paced assembly tasks, while the kinematics of upper extremities were recorded using a motion tracking system. The upper extremity was modeled as a 7 degrees-of-freedom system. The variance of joint angles within the UCM space (V
