Human arm movement control theories are reviewed in the current paper. The motor planning problem stated as a generation of a time plan for the execution of a movement task, is a major concern of the current paper. It will be suggested that computational models of motor control have a strong potential for the use in the area of human motor rehabilitation. Their use can be discriminated in three main areas of application: the generation of correct trajectories to be demonstrated to human subjects during physiotherapy; the assessment of motion disorders and movement quality; and the devising of challenging interaction exercises to promote recovery.
