Meaning of coordination in each field.

Field	Meaning of coordination
Biomechanics	Relation that act toward meeting functional requirements Winter, 2009
Computational perspective	Relation that reduce the number of degrees of freedom to solve a computational problem on the CNS d'Avella et al., 2003
	Neural organization that ensures task-specific covariation of elements that contribute to the achievement of the motor task Latash et al., 2007
Ecological perspective	Self-organizing relation between elements that reduce degrees of freedom Turvey, 2007
	Relation that is beneficial to the achievement of a motor task Müller and Sternad, 2003

The meaning of coordination and synergy within a field is similar although coordination is sometimes referred to as synergy.
