The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.
Overall, the three levels of motor control — segmental, projection, and precommand — illustrate the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement, from basic reflexes to complex, voluntary movements.
