DESCRIPTION
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.

by focusing on the rationale behind exercise selections and progressions. Now
in striking full color and more accessible than ever, the text emphasizes return
to function, aligns with the most recent ICF framework, and reflects the latest
strategies in physical therapy. This edition continues to show readers how to
use therapeutic exercise and related interventions to close the gap between current and desired performance,
while incorporating new research and updated pedagogy.
