The effects of expectancy on corticospinal excitability: passively preparing to observe a movement
(American Physiological Society, 2014-01-08)
[Abstract] The corticospinal tract excitability is modulated when preparing movements. Earlier to movement execution, the excitability of the spinal cord increases waiting for supraspinal commands to release the movement. ...
Virtual Reality as a Tool for Evaluation of Repetitive Rhythmic Movements in the Elderly and Parkinson’s Disease Patients
(PLoS ONE, 2012-01-18)
[Abstract] This work presents an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) system to evaluate, and potentially treat, the alterations in rhythmic
hand movements seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the elderly (EC), by comparison ...
Validity of the finger tapping test in Parkinson’s disease, elderly and young healthy subjects: is there a role for central fatigue?
(Elsevier, 2012-05-03)
[Abstract] Objective: The main goal of this work is to evaluate the validity of the finger tapping test (FT) to detect alterations in rhythm formation.
Methods: We use FT to study the alterations in motor rhythm in three ...
Antagonist muscle co-activation during straight walking and its relation to kinematics: Insight from young, elderly and Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier, 2012-03-21)
[Abstract] Increased antagonist muscle co-activation of the lower limb during walking seems to be an
adaptive process to the physiological changes of aging, in order to gain joint stability. In the
healthy subjects this ...
Acute effects of a single neurodynamic mobilization session on range of motion and H-reflex in asymptomatic young subjects: a controlled study
(Wiley, 2023-06-18)
[Abstract] Neurodynamic techniques have yielded good clinical results in the treatment of various pathologies. The objective of this study is to examine the short-term effects of neurodynamic techniques of the sciatic nerve ...
Response of spinal excitability to different short-lasting motor tasks: preliminary results
(Springer Nature, 2017)
[Abstract] Understanding the origin of muscle fatigue is essential for optimizing
neuro-rehabilitation treatments. Fatigue is tasks dependent and its neural substrates
have been deeply addressed for isometric contractions. ...
Effects of movement imitation training in Parkinson's disease: a virtual reality pilot study
(Elsevier, 2016-05)
[Abstract] Background. Hypometria is a clinical motor sign in Parkinson's disease. Its origin likely emerges from basal ganglia dysfunction, leading to an impaired control of inhibitory intracortical motor circuits. Some ...
