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 Mazaira, Francisco 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 ... -
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 Mazaira, Francisco 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-Rodríguez, Pablo; Cudeiro Mazaira, Francisco 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 Mazaira, Francisco 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 Mazaira, Francisco 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 ... -
Effects of movement imitation training in Parkinson's disease: a virtual reality pilot study
Robles-García, Verónica; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Espinosa, Nelson; García-Sancho, Carlos; Sanmartín, Gabriel; Flores, Julián; Cudeiro Mazaira, Francisco Javier; Arias, Pablo (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 ... -

Low-cost virtual reality system in evaluation of rhythmic motor patterns in elderly and Parkinsonian patients
Sanmartín, Gabriel; Flores, Julián; Robles-García, Verónica; Arias, Pablo; Cudeiro Mazaira, Francisco Javier (MIT Press, 2014-04-30)[Abstract] This work details a Virtual Reality (VR) system developed to evaluate and potentially treat alterations in hand movements and central rhythm formation in Parkinsonian and Elderly subjects. An essential feature ... -
Motor facilitation during real-time movement imitation in Parkinson’s disease: a virtual reality study
Robles-García, Verónica; Arias, Pablo; Sanmartín, Gabriel; Espinosa, Nelson; Flores, Julián; Grieve, Kenneth; Cudeiro Mazaira, Francisco Javier (Elsevier, 2013-08-06)[Abstract] Background: Impaired temporal stability and poor motor unit recruitment are key impairments in Parkinsonian motor control during a whole spectrum of rhythmic movements, from simple finger tapping to gait. Therapies ... -
Mulleres coidadoras en países en vías de desenvolvemento: implicación do estudantado na educación para o desenvolvemento, sensibilización e visibilización na Facultade de Fisioterapia
Robles-García, Verónica; Carballo-Costa, Lidia; Senín-Camargo, Francisco; González Doniz, Luz (Universidade da Coruña, Cufie, 2019)[Resumo] A promoción activa da responsabilidade social universitaria ten un papel prioritario para conseguir un modelo máis sustentable e humano. As actividades propostas polo persoal docente e investigador deben ter un ... -

Spatiotemporal gait patterns during overt and covert evaluation in patients with Parkinson’s disease and healthy subjects: is there a hawthorne effect?
Robles-García, Verónica; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Espinosa, Nelson; Jácome, María Amalia; García-Sancho, Carlos; Cudeiro Mazaira, Francisco Javier (Human Kinetics, 2015)[Abstract] Parkinson's disease (PD) and aging lead to gait impairments. Some of the disturbances of gait are focused on step length, cadence, and temporal variability of gait cycle. Under experimental conditions gait can ... -
The effects of expectancy on corticospinal excitability: passively preparing to observe a movement
Arias, Pablo; Robles-García, Verónica; Espinosa, Nelson; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Mordillo-Mateos, Laura; Grieve, Kenneth; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro Mazaira, Francisco Javier (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. ... -
