Progress in Motor Control

Progress in Motor Control: From Neuroscience to Patient Outcomes updates the state-of-the-art of knowledge among scientists on basic and applied research on control of movements of biological systems through a clinical perspective. Motor control is a scientific area characterized by multidisciplinary approaches. This book promotes the application of this area into clinical practice. Chapters focus on topics in the field of motor control, including neural control of goal-oriented action, theories on rules of interaction during motor learning, and action coordination up to human and machine interaction. Edited by experts in the field, this book translates current theoretical outcomes into neuroscience and therapeutic solutions.

• Translates the principles of motor control to improve sensorimotor outcomes in patients
• Reviews coordination topics including locomotor coordination, visual perception and head stability
• Explores movement analysis knowledge in rehabilitative tools
