Motor control : theory and practical applications Upplaga 2

This fully revised edition stresses the scientific and experimental bases of new motor control theories, and explains how principles can be applied to clinical practice. The book presents many theories of motor control, but focuses on a systems theory of motor control and a clinical or "task-oriented" approach to examination and intervention. Features include: laboratory activities to demonstrate concepts; a new chapter on impairments that constrain functional movement in patients with neurologic pathology; a revised section on manipulatory function disorders; and case studies to help readers apply concepts to patients with different diagnoses. All chapters include an outline, key terms, learning boxes, and a summary.
