The motor program is a concept that has had a major influence on theorizing in the field of motor control. However, there has been a lack of consensus as to what exactly is a motor program and its role in movement organization and execution. In 1994 Morris, Summers, Matyas, and Iansek concluded from a review of the application of the motor program concept in the field of physical therapy that continued use of the term may impede progress in the field. In this paper we examine what has happened to the motor program concept in the thirteen years since the previous evaluation. The review indicates that although the term is still being used in different ways, the theoretical existence of a motor program appears to be generally accepted by researchers in experimental psychology, movement science, and neurophysiology. The recent development of powerful brain imaging techniques may allow determination of whether the motor program should be regarded as a metaphorical or literal concept.
运动程序是一个对运动控制领域的理论化产生了重大影响的概念。然而，对于什么是运动程序以及它在运动组织和执行中的作用，一直没有达成共识。1994 年，Morris、Summers、Matyas 和 Iansek 在对运动程序概念在物理治疗领域的应用进行回顾后得出结论，继续使用该术语可能会阻碍该领域的发展。在本文中，我们研究了自上次评估以来的 13 年中运动程序概念的发展情况。该综述表明，尽管该术语仍在以不同的方式使用，但在实验心理学、运动科学和神经生理学领域的研究人员中，运动程序的理论存在似乎被普遍接受。最近强大的脑成像技术的发展可能会确定运动程序是否应该被视为隐喻或字面概念。
