Abstract

The guideline for therapy should be the improvement of the individual's functionality, not the acquisition of the ill-defined “goldstandard” of normal movement. However, Latash & Anson's suggestion that only primary causes of dysfunction should be treated is problematic for two reasons: First, the distinction between genuine and adaptive changes in motor performance is not always possible, and second, adaptive changes do not necessarily improve motor function, but may actually be detrimental to the system's performance.
