How the nervous system coordinates muscles to produce controlled, efficient movement.
Neuromuscular control refers to the unconscious and conscious activation of muscles, coordinated by the nervous system, to stabilise joints and produce efficient, task-appropriate movement patterns. It integrates sensory input (proprioceptive, visual, vestibular) with motor output and underpins qualities like dynamic joint stability, balance, and movement efficiency. The term is used broadly across rehab and performance contexts and its precise mechanisms are still debated, so it is often operationalised differently depending on the assessment or training method used.
