FORCEMOVEMENT ILLUSION

   A term used to denote a variant of the group of * motor illusions characterized by a mispercep-tion of limb position due to the forces generated by that limb against a force that moves it in the opposite direction. For example, if a subject is given the task of generating a changing isometric force against a force that is flexing the limb, the limb will be perceived as being flexed more than it actually is.
