Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice 6 PAP/PSC

This textbook reviews current research in motor control and how to translate it into clinical practice in physical therapy, occupational therapy, kinesiology, and exercise science. It covers theories of motor control, motor learning, and recovery of function after neurological injury, as well as the clinical implications of these theories and the physiological basis of motor control and learning, including the pathophysiology of sensory, motor, and cognitive impairments affecting motor control, then motor control issues in posture and balance, mobility, and upper-extremity function, with discussion of issues related to normal control processes, developmental and age-related issues, abnormal function, and clinical strategies related to assessment and treatment. This edition has new and revised content in all chapters, an updated theoretical framework with recent knowledge in neuroscience, new figures, and a revised chapter on upper-extremity function. Also provided is online access to videos demonstrating the application of concepts to physical therapy and rehabilitation scenarios. Annotation ©2022 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
