Introduction To The Neurophysiology Of Movement
The Introduction to the Neurophysiology of Movement is a comprehensive guide that explains the intricate mechanisms of how the human nervous system controls movement. Written in a clear and structured style, this book is ideal for medical students, neuroscience trainees, physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists, and researchers who want to understand the principles of motor control and neuromuscular coordination.
This text introduces the reader to the fundamentals of neurophysiology, covering how the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system interact to produce voluntary and involuntary movement. It emphasizes the physiological basis of motor function, reflexes, motor pathways, muscle contraction, and the neural control of balance and posture.
Key highlights of Introduction to the Neurophysiology of Movement include:
-
Clear and concise explanations of motor system physiology.
-
Detailed discussion of neuroanatomical structures and their role in movement control.
-
Insights into reflexes, sensory feedback, and motor learning mechanisms.
-
Coverage of clinically relevant conditions such as movement disorders, paralysis, and neuromuscular diseases.
-
Useful diagrams and illustrations to aid comprehension.
This book serves as both an introductory text for beginners and a reference guide for advanced learners. For students preparing for exams in physiology, neuroscience, or rehabilitation sciences, it provides a solid foundation in motor neurophysiology. For clinicians and therapists, it offers insights that directly apply to patient care, rehabilitation, and physical therapy practices.
