This book covers the changes in musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiopulmonary systems, which are the three pillars of human movement. It examines the causes, processes, consequences, and contexts of physical activity from different perspectives and in different life stages including early childhood to elderly. It goes on to further explain how purposeful movement of the human body is affected by pathological conditions related to any of these major systems. Coverage also includes external and internal factors (such as forces and other stresses) that affect the human growth pattern and development, and throughout lifespan (embryo, child, adult, and geriatrics). The perfect reference for researchers of kinesiology as well as clinicians and students involved in rehabilitation practice. --

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.
