TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Performance and Motor Control Characteristics of Functional Skills A1 - Magill, Richard A. A1 - Anderson, David I. PY - 2018 T2 - Motor Learning and Control: Concepts and Applications, 11e AB - Concept: Specific characteristics of the performance of various types of motor skills provide the basis for much of our understanding of motor control.After completing this chapter, you will be able toDescribe Fitts' law and explain how it relates to the speed-accuracy trade-off phenomenonDefine the term prehension; describe a prehension example; discuss, from a motor control perspective, the relationship among the components of a prehension action; and discuss the role of vision in prehensionDescribe how handwriting provides a good example of the concept of motor equivalence and the influence of vision on handwritingDescribe the difference between symmetric and asymmetric bimanual coordination, and discuss why asymmetric bimanual coordination is more difficult to learn than symmetricDescribe the rhythmic relationships associated with walking and running gait patterns, the role of maintaining head stability during locomotion, and the characteristics associated with gait transitions that occur at certain speeds of locomotionDescribe the three movement phases of catching a moving object and the role vision plays in each phase and answer the question of whether it is important to be able to see one's hands throughout the flight of an object to catch itDiscuss how vision influences the striking of a moving object and what that influence tells us about the control of this type of actionDescribe how vision influences locomotion when the action goal is to contact an object or avoid contact with an object in the environment SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1150116101 ER -
