Zusammenfassung: Motor control is a relatively young field of research exploring how the nervous system produces purposeful, coordinated movements in its interaction with the body and the environment through conscious and unsconscious thought. Many books purporting to cover motor control have veered off course to examine biomechanics and physiology rather than actual control, leaving a gap in the literature. This book covers all the major perspectives in motor control, with a balanced approach. There are chapters explicitly dedicated to control theory, to dynamical systems, to biomechanics, to different behaviors, and to motor learning, including case studies. Reviews current research in motor control Contains balanced perspectives among neuroscience, psychology, physics and biomechanics Highlights controversies in the field Discusses neurophysiology, control theory, biomechanics, and dynamical systems under one cover Links principles of motor control to everyday behaviors Includes case studies delving into topics in more detail.Zusammenfassung: Front Cover -- Fundamentals of Motor Control -- Copyright -- Contents -- Preface -- Chapter 1 A philosophical introduction -- 1.1 Adequate language -- 1.2 Specific features of biological objects -- Chapter 2 Elements of history -- 2.1 From Ancient Greece to the early twentieth century -- 2.2 Classical biomechanics and neurophysiology of the twentieth century -- 2.3 Nikolai Bernstein and the levels of movement construction -- Self-test questions -- Essential references and recommended further readings -- Chapter 3 Features of the system for movement production -- 3.1 The muscle -- 3.2 Neurons and neural pathways -- 3.3 Sensory receptors -- 3.4 Reflexes -- 3.5 Motor redundancy -- 3.6 Motor variability -- Self-test questions -- Essential references and recommended further readings -- Chapter 4 Instructive examples -- 4.1 Do stars and planets measure the distances to each other? -- 4.2 Posture-movement paradox -- 4.3 Opening a door with a mug of coffee in one's hand -- 4.4 Tonic stretch reflex and voluntary movements -- 4.5 Equifinality and its violations -- 4.6 Effects of deafferentation on voluntary movements -- Self-test questions -- Essential references and recommended further readings -- Chapter 5 Control with forces and torques -- 5.1 Force control -- 5.2 Are interaction torques special?
