Publisher Description

Disability and Motor Behavior: A Handbook of Research provides the first focused review of research and scholarship pertaining to individuals with disabilities across motor behavior-related disciplines (e.g., motor learning, motor control, motor development). The book consists of 15 chapters that highlight current research trends, future research directions, and practical implications spanning different types of disability. The book takes a holistic view toward motor behavior among persons with disabilities from an empirical perspective. This book is written at a level appropriate for graduate students and researchers and will be the first book to provide in-depth discussions about research and scholarship across motor behavior.
