Biomechanics and Motor Control: Defining Central Concepts' provides a thorough update to the rapidly evolving fields of biomechanics of human motion and motor control with research published in biology, psychology, physics, medicine, physical therapy, robotics, and engineering consistently breaking new ground. This book clarifies the meaning of the most frequently used terms, and consists of four parts, with part one covering biomechanical concepts, including joint torques, stiffness and stiffness-like measures, viscosity, damping and impedance, and mechanical work and energy. Other sections deal with neurophysiological concepts used in motor control, such as muscle tone, reflex, pre-programmed reactions, efferent copy, and central pattern generator, and central motor control concepts, including redundancy and abundance, synergy, equilibrium-point hypothesis, and motor program, and posture and prehension from the field of motor behavior. The book is organized to cover smaller concepts within the context of larger concepts. For example, internal models are covered in the chapter on motor programs.

Le taping s'est imposé en France comme une méthode de soin particulièrement efficace et rapide des lésions musculaires, ligamentaires ou tendineuses ainsi que des troubles lymphatiques. Cependant, son utilisation et sa mise en oeuvre nécessitent des connaissances précises ; cet ouvrage détaille ainsi, de manière pédagogique et adaptée, la physiologie du taping et ses différentes applications. L'auteur décrit dans une première partie les principes de bases du taping. Il aborde ensuite les techniques de pose habituelles, techniques musculaires, lymphatiques, ligamentaires et de correction posturale, et y ajoute la description de techniques spécifiques comme les montages sur les cicatrices, les trajets nerveux ou les segments, les techniques de correction des fascias, les techniques agissant sur les trigger points et les techniques énergétiques. Les applications cliniques sont ensuite détaillées dans une troisième partie, aussi bien dans les domaines orthopédiques et chirurgicaux qu'en médecine interne, en gynécologie ou en neurologie. L'ouvrage s'appuie sur plus de 740 photographies pour décrire ces techniques. L'atout majeur de ce guide est le body painting étape par étape : en se basant sur le célèbre Atlas d'anatomie Sobotta, les structures anatomiques ont été peintes avec une grande précision sur le corps d'un modèle ; les bandes sont alors appliquées sur ces structures anatomiques sous-jacentes ; des explications pas à pas détaillent enfin chaque étape de cette application, donnant ainsi une vision parfaitement claire et précise de la localisation des bandes. Les vidéos de la version originale sont accessibles en ligne, elles permettent de visualiser la pose des bandes pour assimiler parfaitement ces techniques. Cet ouvrage, véritable guide de référence en langue française sur le sujet, est destiné aux kinésithérapeutes ainsi qu'aux médecins du sport, ostéopathes Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

This single volume brings together both theoretical developments in the field of motor control and their translation into such fields as movement disorders, motor rehabilitation, robotics, prosthetics, brain-machine interface, and skill learning. Motor control has established itself as an area of scientific research characterized by a multi-disciplinary approach. Its goal is to promote cooperation and mutual understanding among researchers addressing different aspects of the complex phenomenon of motor coordination. Topics covered include recent theoretical advances from various fields, the neurophysiology of complex natural movements, the equilibrium-point hypothesis, motor learning of skilled behaviors, the effects of age, brain injury, or systemic disorders such as Parkinson's Disease, and brain-computer interfaces. The chapter ‘Encoding Temporal Features of Skilled Movements—What, Whether and How?’ is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
