This work is written by a variety of physical therapists with a range of clinical expertise areas such as neurophysiology, biomechanics, and human motor control. The case-study format that is applied throughout the text amplifies the principles of motor control research and shows the transfer of information from research studies to clinical settings. Topics include: motor control; learning and development; musculoskeletal considerations; sensory and cognitive systems underlying the production and control of movement; disorders of the control of the limb movement; and gait. Five case studies representing common clinical problems are used to facilitate clinical problem solving.
