“Normal” is not the issue: It is “effective” goal attainment that counts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Adaptive motor patterns that emerge after a neuromusculoskeletal lesion reflect not only the primary lesion, but also the dynamic characteristics of the musculoskeletal linkage and environment in which the action is performed. Although these patterns may be optimal, they may also be ineffective as goal-directed actions; effectiveness may only be regained if training addresses primary deficits and ensures practice without gross biomechanical adaptations.
