Description
This volume presents a variety of studies relating to the reach to grasp movement and provides a necessary and valuable contribution to
the field of motor control. The professions covered in this book range from those interested in the basic sciences to those more interested
in practical application. Neurophysiologists and biomechanists join with therapists and neural modelers to present an extensive overview
of current developments. Evolutionary and developmental aspects are included together with descriptions of how this movement is affected
by central nervous system damage. Purely theoretical aspects of the motor control of this movement are interspersed with treatment applications
and robotics.
