This volume is the most recent installment of the Progress in Motor
Control series. It contains contributions based on presentations by
invited speakers at the Progress in Motor Control IX meeting held
in at McGill University, Montreal, in July, 2013. Progress in Motor
Control is the official scientific meeting of the International
Society of Motor Control (ISMC). The Progress in Motor Control IXI
meeting, and consequently this volume, provide a broad perspective
on the latest research on motor control in humans and other
species.
While virtual reality (VR) has influenced fields as varied as
gaming, archaeology and the visual arts, some of its most promising
applications come from the health sector. Particularly encouraging
are the many uses of VR in supporting the recovery of motor skills
following accident or illness. Virtual Reality for Physical and
Motor Rehabilitation reviews two decades of progress and
anticipates advances to come. It offers current research on the
capacity of VR to evaluate, address, and reduce motor skill
limitations and the use of VR to support motor and sensorimotor
function, from the most basic to the most sophisticated skill
levels. Expert scientists and clinicians explain how the brain
organizes motor behavior, relate therapeutic objectives to client
goals and differentiate among VR platforms in engaging the
production of movement and balance. On the practical side,
contributors demonstrate that VR complements existing therapies
across various conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases,
traumatic brain injury and stroke. Included among the topics:
Neuroplasticity and virtual reality. Vision and perception in
virtual reality. Sensorimotor recalibration in virtual
environments. Rehabilitative applications using VR for residual
impairments following stroke. VR reveals mechanisms of balance and
locomotor impairments. Applications of VR technologies for
childhood disabilities. A resource of great immediate and future
utility, Virtual Reality for Physical and Motor Rehabilitation
distills a dynamic field to aid the work of neuropsychologists,
rehabilitation specialists (including physical, speech, vocational
and occupational therapists), and neurologists.

Principles of Motor Control in Clinical Settings: From Neuroscience
to Patient Outcomes updates the state of the art of knowledge among
scientists on basic and applied research on control of movements of
biological systems, through a clinical perspective. Motor control
is a scientific area characterized by multidisciplinary approaches.
This book promotes the application of this area into clinical
practice. The chapters focus on topics in the field of motor
control including neural control of goal-oriented action, theories
on rules of interaction during motor learning, and action
coordination up to human and machine interaction. Edited by experts
in the field, this book translates current theoretical outcomes
into neuroscience and therapeutic solutions.
