Synopsis :

Here is the ONLY text to bridge the gap between current motor control theory and research, and its application to clinical practice. "Motor Control" prepares therapists to examine and treat patients who have problems related to balance, mobility and upper extremity function, based on the best available evidence supporting the clinical practice. A systems theory of motor control and a clinical or "task-oriented" approach to examination and intervention are presented. It offers the perfect balance of features: functional approach provides a practical model of rehabilitation; specific examples of theoretical models apply theories to clinical practice; and, drawings, charts, tables and photographs clarify postural control and functional mobility. New features provide added function: Chapter 6 presents factors affecting the control of movement and the types of patients likely to have these impairments; upper extremity assessment and intervention techniques are addressed from occupational therapy and physical therapy perspectives; and, laboratory activities and case studies demonstrate key concepts.

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.
