Synopsis

The proliferation of new research in the field of neuroscience and motor control has made it difficult to keep pace with the latest findings. This text bridges the gap between research/theory and practice by focusing on the scientific and experimental basis of new motor control theories. Specific examples of theoretical models are provided to clearly illustrate how recent findings and theories can be applied to clinical practice. Each chapter includes an outline, key terms in boldface type, active learning boxes, and a chapter summary to ensure maximum comprehension of the material. The text is intended for physiotherapy and occupational therapy students.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Motor Control, 5th Edition remains the only book available that bridges the gap between current and emerging motor control research and its application to clinical practice. Written by leading experts in the field, this now classic resource prepares readers to effectively examine and treat patients with problems related to postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function using today's evidence-based best practices. To make information easier to understand and follow, chapters follow a standard format: normal control process issues, age-related issues, research on abnormal function, and clinical applications of current research, including methods for examining and treating patients with motor dyscontol in each area. Featuring new pedagogy, new videos, and separate lifespan chapters on development of mobility and aging and mobility, the Fifth Edition reflects the current explosion of research in the field of motor control.
