| Aim & Scopes | Aims and ScopeJournal of Motor Control and Learning is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on human movement, motor behavior, skill acquisition, and movement-related rehabilitation. The journal welcomes studies that investigate the neural, biomechanical, cognitive, behavioral, and psychological mechanisms underlying movement control, motor learning, adaptation, performance, and recovery. The journal’s scope includes, but is not limited to: Motor Control Research on the planning, regulation, coordination, and execution of voluntary and automatic movement across healthy, athletic, developmental, aging, and clinical populations. Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition Studies examining how motor skills are acquired, retained, adapted, transferred, and optimized through practice, feedback, training, and experience. Cognitive Neuroscience of Movement Investigations of the neural and cognitive processes involved in movement planning, sensorimotor integration, attention, perception, decision-making, and motor behavior. Biomechanics and Movement Science Research on the mechanical, kinematic, kinetic, and neuromuscular characteristics of human movement, posture, balance, gait, coordination, and performance. Rehabilitation and Motor Recovery Studies focused on assessment, intervention, neuroplasticity, functional recovery, and rehabilitation strategies for individuals with neurological, musculoskeletal, developmental, or movement-related disorders. Sport Psychology and Human Performance Research on psychological, cognitive, and behavioral factors influencing motor performance, skill execution, motivation, confidence, fatigue, stress, and performance optimization. Motor Development and Aging Studies addressing changes in movement control, learning capacity, coordination, balance, and functional mobility across the lifespan. Technology-Assisted Movement Assessment and Intervention Applications of wearable sensors, motion analysis, virtual reality, robotics, neurofeedback, digital tools, and computational methods in movement assessment, training, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. Clinical and Applied Movement Research Translational studies that connect motor control and learning principles with clinical practice, rehabilitation, sport, ergonomics, education, physical activity, and health-related movement outcomes.
