Motor function refers to the ability of the body to perform coordinated and purposeful movements using the skeletal muscles. This research area focuses on understanding the mechanisms and processes involved in motor control, motor learning, and motor coordination. Researchers in this field study how the brain and nervous system communicate with the muscles to produce movement, as well as how factors such as age, injury, disease, and environmental influences can affect motor function. The goal of motor function research is to improve our understanding of how movement is generated and controlled, and to develop strategies for improving motor skills, rehabilitation, and overall physical functioning.
