Synopsis:

A comprehensive text on the neurophysiology of voluntary movement. The book also covers relevant information from the study of biomechanics, anatomy, control throy and motor disorders. It emphasizes neurophysiological mechanisms that apply to the process of voluntary movements. The book covers a term's worth of material about the neurophysiological aspects of five major areas: cells, reflexes, structures, behaviours and disorders. The book applies these topics to specific tasks such as standing, locomotion, eye movement control and reaching.
