What is the appropriate criterion for therapeutic intervention in the motor domain?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Observations are made on Latash & Anson's theme that changed motor patterns should not be viewed as pathological. Normality in motor control might be characterised in terms of qualitative differences in control mechanisms rather than differences in movement patterns. Understanding of the concepts implicit in instructions to subjects should be confirmed. Principles of energy expenditure in atypical movements are outlined. If restoration of normality is not adopted as a criterion for therapeutic intervention, what might be proposed as an alternative?
