Sample Answer

Nervous System Function:

Controls muscle recruitment patterns
Coordinates movement through proprioception
Provides feedback during movement execution

Movement Efficiency Impact:

Determines timing of muscle activation
Controls force production
Maintains balance and coordination

Signs of Compromise:

Altered sensation or tingling
Loss of coordination
Muscle weakness or irregular activation
