Motor Control and Learning - Carolee Winstein

. .

Motor Control and Learning, 6th Edition focuses on the many factors that influence the quality of movement and how these skills are acquired. This new edition builds on the foundational work of Richard Schmidt and Timothy Lee set out in the previous editions. With three additional authors, the book
