Biomechanics of Human Communication: Neurophysiology, Regulation, and Systems Thinking

Biomechanics of Human Communication: Neurophysiology, Regulation, and Systems Thinking by S. Faye Molicki unlocks a powerful, multidisciplinary view of how movement, neural control, and systemic regulation shape human communication. If you work in speech-language pathology, neurology, rehabilitation, or communication sciences, this book offers a coherent framework that connects anatomy, neurophysiology, and practical intervention strategies.

Beginning with clear explanations of the biomechanics underpinning speech and nonverbal signaling, Molicki guides readers through neural control mechanisms, sensorimotor regulation, and the dynamic interactions that produce fluent, adaptive communication. Rich clinical examples and systems-thinking perspectives translate complex theory into actionable assessment and therapy approaches suitable for clinicians, researchers, and advanced students.

Practical yet scholarly, the text emphasizes evidence-based methods to improve diagnostic precision and treatment outcomes across populations — from developmental disorders to acquired neurological injury. Its global relevance makes it indispensable for practitioners in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and beyond seeking contemporary, integrative models for practice and research.

Readers will come away with concrete tools to refine intervention plans, design interdisciplinary care pathways, and advance research hypotheses grounded in biomechanics and neurophysiology. Whether you’re updating your clinical toolkit or exploring systems thinking in communication science, Molicki’s work is a compelling resource that bridges theory and practice.
