1.508,95 kr. The regulation of movement in the organisms which have a nervous system is known as motor control. It consists of both reflexes as well as deliberate movement. Biomechanics refers to the study of movements in a living body, which involves the manner in which bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons collaborate for producing movement. It encompasses not only the structure and movement of muscles and bones but also the mechanics of renal function, blood circulation and other body functions. The human body comprises many joints and muscles that work in tandem. The nervous system needs to combine multimodal sensory input in order to regulate movement. Furthermore, it must elicit the required signals for recruiting muscles to complete a task. Motor control then initiates, directs and grades deliberate voluntary movement while also regulating movement related mechanisms. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to motor control and human movement. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers.

1.483,95 kr. Biomechanics refers to the study of motion, structure and function of mechanical aspects of biological systems, at the cellular level or the level of organism as a whole. The movement in organisms is regulated by motor control, which comprises directed movement and reflexes. The integration of multimodal sensory information from proprioception and the external environment is needed to control the movement. The nervous system generates necessary signals for the muscles to carry out a specific task. Motor control is significant in organisms for interacting with external world, to carry out required activities, as well as for stability, posture and balance. In humans, all the movements require motor neurons to trigger action potentials, which cause the contractions of required muscles. The coordination of muscles is triggered by the impulses sent by motor cortex towards the motor units. This results in production of movements by a subset of muscles contracting in precise pattern temporarily for generating force at the right time. This book contains some path-breaking studies on biomechanics and motor control. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
