Abstract
This article is a review of the nature of motor control: the abilities and limitations of the body, the principles of doing and learning, how parts of the nervous system interact, and how information is processed to generate the blend of sensory, perceptive, and motor functions that we call motor control. The relation to physical therapy is stressed: PT is regarded as an emerging applied science of motor control, and motor control is regarded as a basic science of physical therapy.Keywords
