In Control of Human Movement, Mark Latash brings a diverse clinical and laboratory background to his approach to motor control. His work with physiology and motor control authorities Victor Gurfinkel, Anatol Feldman, and Gerald Gottlieb contributed to the comprehensive development of the equilibrium-point approach to motor control. His clinical experiences at the Spinal Cord Trauma Center in Moscow and Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago have helped him to better understand real-life clinical problems and their relationship to basic motor control studies.
Issues studied from this compelling and controversial perspective include single- and multi-joint movements; the emergence of electromyographic patterns; the phenomena of motor learning and variability; postural control and preprogramming; and pathological aspects of motor control in such disorders as spasticity, Parkinson's disease, and Down syndrome.
