Neural Aspects of Movement and Rehabilitation

Catalog description

An in-depth discussion of how the nervous system controls movement. Provides insight into how the enormous repertoire of human movements (e.g., gait, posture, voluntary hand movements) is controlled by a distributed motor system (e.g., spinal cord, basal ganglia, motor cortex); how pathology to the system alters movements; and an introduction to how rehabilitative approaches address these pathologies.
