Title: Chapter 10 From Movement to Action: The Learning of Motor Control Following Brain Damage
Abstract: There has been a growing interest in the use of artificial sensory feedback procedures, eg., EMG feedback, for the treatment of patients with motor disorders. In spite of two decades of applied research, however, its results are still disputed, especially regarding the generalization of therapy effects to functional skills. In the present text the relevance of EMG feedback for rehabilitation medicine will be discussed. The emphasis will be on the problem of limited transfer of learned motor control to the performance of functional activities. It is argued that the efficacy of the treatment procedure could be enhanced if therapeutical attention was directed at the (re-)acquisition of goal-directed actions instead of at the learning of isolated movements.
