MOTOR CONTROL
• Neural control centers translate and change the idea for movement
movement sequence.”
.
• During response execution (movement output), muscles are selected against an
part of the system for incoming sensory feedback or for a future motor command.

• Hierarchical theory
• Systems theory
• Activity-oriented theory
• Ecological theory

SPINAL CORD
HIERARCHICAL THEORY
• The hierarchical theory states that the central
nervous sys-tem (CNS) is organized in hierarchical
levels such that the higher association areas are
followed by the motor cortex, followed by the
spinal levels of motor function.
• Each higher level controls the level below it
according to strict vertical hierarchy; the lines of
control do not cross, and lower levels cannot
exert control
