Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice, 6th
Edition, is the only text 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 classic resource
prepares users to effectively assess, evaluate, and treat clients with
problems related to postural control, mobility, and upper extremity
function using today's evidence-based best practices.
This extensively revised 6th Edition reflects the latest advances in
research and features updated images, clinical features, and case
studies to ensure a confident transition to practice. Each chapter
follows a consistent, straightforward format to simplify studying and
reinforce understanding of normal control process issues, age-related
issues, research on abnormal function, clinical applications of current
research, and evidence to support treatments used in the rehabilitation
of patients with motor control problems.
