Riassunto

Twenty-one contributions comprise a textbook on the sensorimotor control of the hand. The text is concerned both with the movements of the hand produced by the arm, and the shaping and manipulative abilities of the hand produced by movements of individual fingers. A major theme of the text is the nature of coordination of the hand and of the arm at the level of movements, and in terms of muscle contributions. Intended for advanced undergraduates. Includes a glossary. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
