| description | Our knowledge of components of the human
motor system has been growing steadily, but our
understanding of its integration into a system is
lagging behind. It is suggested that a combination
of measurements of forces and movements of the
motor system in a functionally meaningful
environment in conjunction with computer
simulations of the motor system may help us in
understanding motor system properties. Neurotrauma
can be seen as a natural deviation, with
recovery as a slow path to yet another deviant
state of the motor system. In that form they may
be useful in explaining the close interaction
between form and function of the human motor
system. |
