Progress in Motor Control: Volume 3 - Effects of Age, Disorder, and Rehabilitation
From WisdomKing.com
Comprehensive and up to date, In this volume, 28 internationally known researchers in the field of motor control present state-of-the-art accounts to help clinicians understand current trends in basic motor control studies. The book includes 12 comprehensive and detailed chapters featuring more than 180 figures and photos that highlight the contributors methods of research and conclusions from their studies. It is organized into the following four parts: Sensorimotor integration New approaches to motor variability Changes in motor control with age or neurological disorder Motor rehabilitation after stroke or spinal cord injury With the addition of clinical applications, The author of Latash earned a masters degree in physics of living systems from the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute in 1976 and a PhD in physiology from Rush University in 1989. He is president of the International Society of Motor Control and a member of the Society for Neuroscience and the American Society of Biomechanics. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education and earned the Pattishall Outstanding Research Achievement Award from Pennsylvania State University in 2001. Levin earned a masters degree in clinical sciences from the University of Montreal and a PhD in physiology from McGill University. She is a member of the Order of Physiotherapists of Quebec, the Consortium of Rehabilitation Researchers of Canada, the Canadian Stroke Network, and the Society for Neuroscience and is an executive officer of the International Society of Motor Control. She was recognized by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada in 2002 for excellence in research in preventive cardiology.
