La obra Control motor, en su 5.a edici n, sigue siendo el nico libro disponible que cierra la brecha entre la investigaci n actual y emergente sobre neurociencia y control motor y su aplicaci n a la pr ctica cl nica. Escrito por destacados expertos en este campo, este recurso, ya cl sico, prepara a los lectores para examinar y tratar eficazmente a los pacientes con problemas relacionados con el control postural, la movilidad y la funci n de las extremidades superiores, siempre utilizando las mejores pr cticas actuales basadas en la evidencia. La estructura general de la obra no ha cambiado en sus 5 ediciones y sigue manteniendo 4 partes. La Parte I, el Marco Te rico, revisa las teor as actuales sobre control motor, aprendizaje motor y recuperaci n de la funci n despu s de un fallo neurol gico. Esta secci n tambi n incluye un modelo conceptual para la pr ctica cl nica (cap. 6) y un cap tulo sobre la fisiopatolog a de las discapacidades sensoriales, motoras y cognitivas que afectan el control motor. La primera secci n es la base del resto del libro, que posteriormente aborda cuestiones relacionadas con el control de la postura y el equilibrio (Parte II), la movilidad (Parte III) y la funci n de las extremidades superiores (Parte IV). Caracter sticas destacadas: Elementos pedag gicos destacados, como objetivos de cap tulo al principio de cada uno y res menes con lo m s importante para cerrarlo.Para facilitar la comprensi n y el seguimiento de la informaci n, los cap tulos de cada secci n siguen un formato est ndar: Investigaciones actualizadas y revisiones significativas de las tres reas clave: control postural, movilidad y funci n de las extremidades superiores.Se ha eliminado informaci n m s detallada del texto principal y se ha colocado en "Cuadros de Conocimiento Extendido"Ampliaci n de las actividades de laboratorio, con claves de respuesta al final de cada cap tulo.Se han agregado varios estudios de casos con videos asociados, que incluyen una persona con esclerosis m ltiple, un ni o con par lisis cerebral severa y un estudio de caso longitudinal que examina la recuperaci n de un accidente cerebrovascular agudo.Se han desarrollado dos videos de tratamiento: tratamiento de los problemas de control motor en una mujer que ha sufrido una apoplej a, y evaluaci n y tratamiento del control segmentario del tronco en un ni o con par lisis cerebral severa.Nuevos v deos con estudios de casos adicionales.El anterior cap tulo sobre la movilidad a lo largo de la vida se ha dividido en dos: uno sobre el desarrollo de la movilidad y el otro sobre envejecimiento y movilidad.
