Motor Control: Theory and Practical Applications

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.
