Abstract

The equilibrium point (EP) hypothesis was introduced by Anatol Feldman about 50years ago (Feldman, 1966). Its fate is very unusual. It has been the target of waves of criticism and attempts to disprove it, while only a handful of researchers have tried to work with this hypothesis and develop it. Despite this imbalance between the numbers of opponents and champions, the EP hypothesis has survived and is currently considered one of the main hypotheses in the field of motor control. The community of scientists in the field of motor control owes a great deal of gratitude to Anatol Feldman who introduced the EP hypothesis, defended it from the waves of skepticism, educated generations of followers, and developed the EP hypothesis to its current state.
