Motor System Disorders, Part I e-bog

Motor System Disorders: Normal Physiology and Function and Neuromuscular Disorders summarizes recent advances and best practice for understanding normal physiology and function of the larger motor system as well as the diagnosis, course, and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. The work will include neuroanatomy, circuits and synapses. It discusses how different parts of the brain contribute to motor control, including both vestibular and cerebellar motor control, as well as the influences of the parietal and frontal lobes. Diagnostic methods include genetic evaluation, electrodiagnosis, pathology, and brain imaging. Neuromuscular disorders of both children and adults will be included.Identifies normal motor control physiology and function, including neuroanatomy, circuits, and synapsesDiscusses vestibular and cerebral motor control and contributions of parietal and frontal lobesProvides diagnostic methods, including genetic evaluation, electrodiagnosis, brain imaging, and pathology analysesSummarizes the diagnosis, course, and best practice treatment of neuromuscular disordersExplores neuromuscular disorders in adults and children
