With the aid of tensotremorography, a voluntary effort was recorded and characteristics of involuntary and voluntary components of the hands' isometrically recorded efforts were studied. The revealed frequency ranges of the oscillations spectral density's changes corroborate existence of two suprasegmental systems of movements control, the systems being related to voluntary control and a current control of the efforts maintaining or preserving a posture. Results of cross-correlation analysis of the hands' efforts maintained under conditions of a visual feedback are demonstrated in norm and in central disorders of the movement control system.
