Table 2.

Characteristics of torque generation before and after transfer. Details of the characteristics of center of pressure (COP) and load force (LF) difference in the pre- and post-transfer lifts. The 4 context switch conditions of the study are shown: (1) adding effectors (unimanual to bimanual) for an object with a left center of mass, (2) adding effectors (unimanual to bimanual) for an object with a right center of mass, (3) removing effectors (bimanual to unimanual) for an object with a left center of mass, (4) removing effectors (bimanual to unimanual) for an object with a right center of mass.
