Acute effects of a single neurodynamic mobilization session on range of motion and H-reflex in asymptomatic young subjects: a controlled study

Cancela, Álvaro; Arias, Pablo; Rodríguez-Romero, Beatriz; Chouza-Insua, Marcelo; Cudeiro, Javier (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 ...

Acute effects of whole-body vibration at 3, 6, and 9 Hz on balance and gait in patients with Parkinson's disease

Chouza-Insua, Marcelo; Arias, Pablo; Viñas-Diz, Susana; Cudeiro, Javier (Wiley, 2011-03-22)

Antagonist muscle co-activation during straight walking and its relation to kinematics: Insight from young, elderly and Parkinson's disease

Arias, Pablo; Espinosa, Nelson; Robles-García, Verónica; Cao, Ricardo; Cudeiro, Javier (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 ...

Aquatic therapy versus conventional land-based therapy for Parkinson's disease: an open-label pilot study

Vivas-Costa, Jamile; Arias, Pablo; Cudeiro, Javier (Elsevier, 2011)

[Abstract] Objectives: To assess and compare 2 different protocols of physiotherapy (land or water therapy) for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) focused on postural stability and self-movement, and to provide ...

Balancing the excitability of M1 circuitry during movement observation without overt replication

Arias, Pablo; Robles-García, Verónica; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Espinosa, Nelson; Mordillo-Mateos, Laura; Grieve, Kenneth; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier (Frontiers, 2014-09-17)

[Abstract] Although observation of a movement increases the excitability of the motor system of the observer, it does not induce a motor replica. What is the mechanism for replica suppression? We performed a series of ...

Bayesian methods in the field of rehabilitation

Quintela-del-Río, Alejandro; Rodríguez-Romero, Beatriz; Robles-García, Verónica; Arias, Pablo; Cudeiro, Javier; Martínez-Rodríguez, Alicia (Wolters Kluwer, 2019-06)

[Abstract] Bayesian techniques, as an alternative method of statistical analysis in rehabilitation studies, have some advantages such as handling small sample sizes, allowing incorporation of previous experience of the ...

Bilateral tDCS on primary motor cortex: effects on fast arm reaching tasks

Arias, Pablo; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Robles-García, Verónica; Madrid, Antonio; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier (PLoS, 2016-08-04)

[Abstract] Background. The effects produced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the motor system have been widely studied in the past, chiefly focused on primary motor cortex (M1) excitability. ...

Central fatigue induced by short-lasting finger tapping and isometric tasks: a study of silent periods evoked at spinal and supraspinal levels

Arias, Pablo; Robles-García, Verónica; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Madrid, Andy; Espinosa, Nelson; Valls-Solé, Josep; Grieve, Kenneth; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier (Elsevier, 2015-08-01)

[Abstract] The neural substrates of fatigue induced by muscular activity have been addressed in depth in relation to isometric tasks. For these activities, when fatigue develops, it has been noted that the duration of the ...

Changes in excitability at the level of M1, spinal cord and muscle during 3 minutes of finger tapping at the maximal possible rate

Madrid, Antonio; Madinabeitia-Mancebo, Elena; Jácome, M. A.; Cudeiro, Javier; Arias, Pablo (Springer, 2018-10-16)

[Abstract] Linear mixed effects models were used to describe the dynamics of M1, spinal and muscle excitability during index finger tapping at the maximal possible rate, for 3 min. Our results show that tapping rate and ...

Controlled trial on the effect of 10 days low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor signs in Parkinson´s disease

Arias, Pablo; Vivas-Costa, Jamile; Grieve, Kenneth; Cudeiro, Javier (Wiley, 2010-07-28)

[Abstract] We evaluated the effect of low-frequency rTMS on motor signs in Parkinson’s disease (PD), under a doubleblind placebo-controlled trial design. PD patients were randomly assigned to received either real (n 5 ...

Differential responses of spinal motoneurons to fatigue induced by short-lasting repetitive and isometric tasks

Madrid, Antonio; Valls-Solé, Josep; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier; Arias, Pablo (Elsevier, 2016-10-24)

[Abstract] Compared to isometric activities, the neural basis of fatigue induced by repetitive tasks has been scarcely studied. Recently, we showed that during short-lasting repetitive tasks at the maximal possible rate ...

Digital Teddy: a tool to assess children´s selective attention

González-Eiroa, Irene; Vázquez-Araújo, Francisco J.; Castro-Castro, Paula-María; Dapena, Adriana; Arias, Pablo; Robles-García, Verónica (2023-09-09)

[Abstract] Selective attention is essential in daily life and plays an important role in childhood as it facilitates the development of movement or cognition. However, there are not enough standardized tools that are ...

Double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial on the effect of 10 days low-frequency rTMS over the vertex on sleep in Parkinson’s disease

Arias, Pablo; Vivas-Costa, Jamile; Grieve, Kenneth; Cudeiro, Javier (Elsevier, 2010-07-31)

[Abstract] Objective: A recent report indicates repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) improves sleep in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of 10 days rTMS on sleep ...
