| Abstract/Notes |
The fourth edition of Motor Control incorporates all the latest findings from motor control research Studies and translates these findings into best clinical practices. You'il learn and put in to practice the skills and knowledge needed to examine and treat patients with a broad range of motor control impairments. Following a review of the latest theoriees of motor control, motor learning, and function recovery after neorogical insult, the text provides a conceptual framework for clinical practice and a practical framework for understanding and examining patients. Armed with this solid foundation,you'll develop a thorough understanding of motor control issues as they relate to posture and balance, mobility, and upper extremity function. For each of these there areas, the authors explain normal control proceses, age-relate isues, abnormal Function and clinical applications of current research. New Integrated Care Studies. Vidios, and Laboratory Excercises,- Five new care studies help you understand specific motor control deficits as well as the use of clinical measures to assess postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function.These case studies are reinforced with vidios located in the back-of-book DVD as well as on the text's accompanying website. Moreover, new laboratory exercises tie into the case studies to help you put new concepts into practice. |
