"This book aims to ensure that the student gains knowledge about the design of the body's cells, muscles, and neuronal structures and to ensure the understanding of how the human system works to produce voluntary movements, as well as understand how these movements can be compromised by common movement disorders. Part 1 provides an overview of cell and muscle function. Part 2 covers foundational anatomy as related to motor control. Part 3 focuses on sensorimotor processing, while part 4 discusses reflexes. Part 5 provides an in depth look at control and coordination of movement. Part 6 delves into sensorimotor integration for perception and action, while part 7 examines learning progression and how individuals evolve and adapt to different situations, which leads right into the final part 8 of the text that is centered around motor disorders"-- Introduction -- History, evolution, and motor control -- Part I. Excitable cells and their communication -- Membranes, particles, and equilibrium potentials -- Action potential -- Information conduction and transmission -- Skeletal muscle -- Peripheral receptors -- Motor units and electromyography -- Part II. Neuroanatomical foundations of motor control -- Cerebral cortex -- Basal ganglia -- Cerebellum -- Brainstem and extrapyramidal tracts -- Part III. Sensory basis of motor control -- Central processing of somatosensory information -- Vestibular and auditory system -- Visual system -- Part IV. Reflexes and reflex-like movements -- Reflexes -- Excitation and inhibition within the spinal cord -- Monosynaptic reflexes -- Oligosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes -- Long-loop reflexes and reflex-like reactions -- Part V. Control and coordination of goal-oriented movements -- Voluntary control of a single muscle -- General issues of motor control -- Motor synergies -- Patterns of single-joint movements -- Multijoint movement -- Postural control -- Locomotion -- Prehension -- Part VI. Sensorimotor integration for perception and action -- Kinesthetic perception -- Multisensory integration -- Visual perception and action -- Part VII. Emerging, evolving, and adapting movements -- Fatigue -- Effects of aging -- Typical and atypical development -- Motor learning -- Part VIII. Motor disorders -- Peripheral muscular and neurological disorders -- Spinal cord injury and spasticity -- Disorders involving the basal ganglia -- Cerebellar disorders -- Cortical disorders -- Systemic disorders -- Motor rehabilitation.
