This comprehensive textbook illustrates the excitement and the difficulties of working at the interface between pure and applied research. Written with the student firmly in mind, the text provides a concise account of the basic anatomy and function of the parts of the CNS involved in controlling body movement. Clinical information is integrated throughout and, wherever possible, details of relevant experiments given.

`Control of human voluntary movement is a difficult and even at times obscure subject ... or so I thought before I got round to reading John Rothwell's excellent pocket-sized textbook on the subject. ... The subject matter could too easily lapse into introspection, but Rothwell maintains the reader's interest by including excellent diagrams and illustrations and a fair amount of pathophysiology.'
Nursing Times
`The author provides a comprehensive, unbiased review of current experimental evidence and theories.'
Physiotherapy
This comprehensive, easily read text on motor control fills a gap between basic physiology textbooks and exhaustive research volumes. All chapters in the new edition have been updated and revised, particularly those on the functional consequences of reflexes, the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum and the basal ganglia. A new chapter on locomotion and balance has been added. Throughout the text basic science is related to neurological diseases of the motors system eg. Parkinson's disease. The book is organized systematically: CNS structures are discussed in ascending order from the spinal cord to cerebral cortex. This book should be of interest to students in physiology, sports science, neurology and physiotherapy.
