Expertise-Related Differences in Wrist Muscle Co-contraction in Drummers

Background and Aim:Drumming requires excellent motor control and temporal coordination. Deploying specific muscle activation patterns may help achieve these requirements. Muscle activation patterns that involve reciprocal contraction of antagonist muscles ...

The ULK1/2 and AMPK Inhibitor SBI-0206965 Blocks AICAR and Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Transport

The small molecule kinase inhibitor SBI-0206965 was originally described as a specific inhibitor of ULK1/2. More recently, it was reported to effectively inhibit AMPK and several studies now report its use as an AMPK inhibitor. Currently, we investigated t ...

Learning Trajectory Dependencies for Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Hongwei Li, Wei Mao

Human motion prediction, i.e., forecasting future body poses given observed pose sequence, has typically been tackled with recurrent neural networks (RNNs). However, as evidenced by prior work, the resulted RNN models suffer from prediction errors accumula ...

Biomechanical effects of passive hip springs during walking

Passive spring-like structures can store and return energy during cyclic movements and thereby reduce the energetic cost of locomotion. That makes them important components of the human body and wearable assistive devices alike. This study investigates how ...

Modular and minimally constraining lower limb exoskeleton for enhanced mobility and balance augmentation

Mohamed Bouri, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

In one embodiment, the exoskeleton structure is fastened to the body of the user by a brace and at the foot level. The exoskeleton includes at least one set of three joints corresponding to the hip abduction/adduction, the hip flexion/extension and the kne ...

Comparison of an EMG-based and a stress-based method to predict shoulder muscle forces

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

The estimation of muscle forces in musculoskeletal shoulder models is still controversial. Two different methods are widely used to solve the indeterminacy of the system: electromyography (EMG)-based methods and stress-based methods. The goal of this work ...

Myogenic potential of canine craniofacial satellite cells

Marco Cassano

The skeletal fibers have different embryological origin; the extraocular and jaw-closer muscles develop from prechordal mesoderm while the limb and trunk muscles from somites. These different origins characterize also the adult muscle stem cells, known as ...

Simulation of postoperative scapula fractures after rTSA

Alice Ghislaine Concordel

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is recommended in case of severe muscle deficiency, along with important joint wear. Although having a correct placement of the prosthesis after the operation and a recovery of the mobility, several cases of scapu ...

Unconstrained three-dimensional reaching in Rhesus monkeys

Grégoire Courtine

To better understand normative behavior for quantitative evaluation of motor recovery after injury, we studied arm movements by non-injured Rhesus monkeys during a food-retrieval task. While seated, monkeys reached, grasped, and retrieved food items. We re ...

A new method to measure local oxygen consumption in human skeletal muscle during dynamic exercise using near-infrared spectroscopy

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can readily report on changes in blood volume and oxygenation. However, it has proved more problematic to measure real-time changes in blood flow and oxygen consumption. Here we report the development of a novel method usi ...
