PY - 2018 T2 - Motor Learning and Control: Concepts and Applications, 11e AB - Concept: Theories about how we control coordinated movement differ in terms of the roles of central and environmental features of a control system.After completing this chapter, you will be able toDiscuss the relevance of motor control theory for the practitionerDefine the term coordination as it relates to the performance of motor skillsDescribe the degrees of freedom problem as it relates to the study of human motor controlCompare and contrast an open-loop control system and a closed-loop control systemDescribe a primary difference between a motor program–based theory of motor control and a dynamical systems theory of motor controlDefine a generalized motor program and describe an invariant feature and a parameter proposed to characterize this programDefine the following terms associated with a dynamical systems theory of motor control: order and control parameters, self-organization, coordinative structures, and perception-action couplingDiscuss how a motor program–based theory and a dynamical systems theory each explain the basis for the relative time characteristics of human walking and running SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/25 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1150115791 ER -
