Product Description
Product Description
"Motor Control" is the only text to bridge the gap between current motor control research and its applications to clinical practice. This text prepares therapists to examine and treat patients with problems related to balance, mobility, and upper extremity function, based on the best available evidence supporting clinical practice. This edition provides the latest research findings and their clinical applications in postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function. This title includes drawings, charts, tables, and photographs to clarify postural control and functional mobility, and laboratory activities, and case studies that are provided to reinforce key concepts. It contains videos on the back of book DVD that examines motor control deficits, including deficits in postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function in different types of neurologic pathology (stroke, cerebellar pathology, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's disease) as well as in balance impaired elders. These videos can be viewed in their entirety or in the following segments: impairments, postural control, mobility, and upper extremity control. This video enhances the clinical coverage found in this textbook.

This book provides an exceptional insight into the use of postural control techniques that apply to both compromised and normal central nervous systems. The chapters are well ordered and clearly illustrated with tasks to ensure the information contained can be translated into practical use. A must for all therapists working in both musculoskeletal and neurological fields.

Good Theoritical Book
7 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book is focusing on Motor theories. Wealth and rich of new Neurorehabilitation concepts, however, this book is not helpful for those who are looking for Neurorehabilitation Techniques in clinical context. This book is not good for someone e.i Physiacl Therapist who is looking for clinical details about the Neurological techniques.

Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice
24 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Shumway-Cook and Woolacott just improve this text with the latest edition. This text explains motor control thoroughly from pathology to disability for the clincian. If you're looking for tricks and techniques like many therapists this is not you. But, if you enjoy research to back up what you do- buy this.

Worthy reading
5 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover
Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice is an excelent reading for all physical therapists. The content is very well written and in an easy way. I am Brazilian and, at least in Rio de Janeiro where I live, Dr. Shumway-Cook's book offer a different point-of-view to the new PT's to not only evaluate neurological patients but also to develop a better treatment planning.
