The human hand can take on a huge variety of shapes and functions,
providing its owner with a powerful hammer at one time or a
delicate pair of forceps at another. The universal utility of the
hand is even more enhanced by the ability to amplify the function
of the hand by using tools. To understand and appreciate how the
human brain controls movements of the hand, it is important to
investigate both the healthy motor behaviour and dysfunction during
everyday manipulative tasks. This book provides a contemporary
summary of the physiology and pathophysiology of the manipulative
and exploratory functions of the human hand. With contributions
from scientists and clinical researchers of biomechanics,
kinesiology, neurophysiology, psychology, physical medicine and
rehabilitation, it covers the development of healthy human grasping
over the lifespan, the wide spectrum of disability in the
pathological state and links basic motor research with modern brain
sciences.
