Ereismatic mechanism underlying postural support function for an aimed movement plays a key role to perform daily motions. The factors relating to variations of the mechanism, however, have not been clarified, so examinations on the ereismatic mechanism were scarcely developed so far. Here, a novel method using aiming task was developed to evaluate the ereismatic function organized in a preferred postural pattern. Preliminary results showed fluctuation of the task score and the circulation-related interaction with the postural preference. The source of the preference in coordination of the ereismatic and goal-directed components, and application of this prototype in future study were discussed.
