With the progress of technologies of recent years, methods have become available that use wearable sensors and ambulatory systems to measure aspects of - particular axial - motor function. As Parkinson's disease (PD) can be considered a model disorder for ...
Recent preclinical advances highlight the therapeutic potential of treatments aimed at boosting regeneration and plasticity of spinal circuitry damaged by spinal cord injury (SCI). With several promising candidates being considered for translation into cli ...
The ITER Toroidal Field (TF) coil winding packs are designed to be wound in double-pancakes. The twin-box joint provides the electrical pancake-to-pancake connection between the two Nb3Sn 68 kA conductors and electrical coil-to-bus bar connection between t ...
BACKROUND AND PURPOSE: Shoulder apprehension is defined as anxiety and resistance in patients with a history of anterior glenohumeral instability. It remains unclear whether shoulder apprehension is the result of true recurrent instability or a memorized s ...
Muscle force control of musculoskeletal humanoid systems has been studied for years in the motor control, biomechanics and robotics disciplines. However, the study of "load-distributed" muscle control has seldomly been contemplated. In this paper, we consi ...
Stroke, or cerebral-vascular accident is the leading cause of disabilities in the western world. It primarily affects mobility due to a degradation of principal motor functions such as balance and gait. This reduction of mobility directly impacts the spect ...
Exerting inhibitory control is a cognitive ability mediated by functions known to decline with age. The goal of this study is to add to the mechanistic understanding of cortical inhibition during motor control in aged brains. Based on behavioral findings o ...
Performance of unimanual movements is associated with bihemispheric activity in the motor cortex in old adults. However, the causal functional role of the ipsilateral MC (iMC) for motor control is still not completely known. Here, the behavioral consequenc ...
Stepper motors are a very convenient and economical solution for accurate positioning applications where long lifetime and low wear are required. Their particularly simple open-loop operation reduces the number of control components to a minimum. However, ...
Recent advances in neurofeedback based on real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allow for learning to control spatially localized brain activity in the range of millimeters across the entire brain. Realtime fMRI neurofeedback studies have ...
