The book starts by identifying the main unifying model/principles for motor rehabilitation ,including the importance of a functional approach, skill- and ability-level rehabilitation and the code for neuromuscular adaptation. The following chapters discuss several areas that are relevant to neuromuscular rehabilitation. They include how movement is organized and how it is constructed from underlying control components called motor abilities . These abilities are affected in various neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions and may, therefore, become the target of rehabilitation...
