Low-cost virtual reality system in evaluation of rhythmic motor patterns in elderly and Parkinsonian patients
(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 ...
Balancing the excitability of M1 circuitry during movement observation without overt replication
(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 ...
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. ...
Effects of early or late-evening fatiguing physical activity on sleep quality in non-professional sportsmen
(Edizioni Minerva Médica, 2016-05-01)
[Abstract]
Background: This study aims to understand whether night sleep-quality is distorted by fatiguing physical activity (PA) when conducted early or late in the evening.
Methods: Nine males (18-38yrs) performed ...
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 ...
Central fatigue induced by short-lasting finger tapping and isometric tasks: a study of silent periods evoked at spinal and supraspinal levels
(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 ...
Double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial on the effect of 10 days low-frequency rTMS over the vertex on sleep in Parkinson’s disease
(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 ...
Effects of Fatigue Induced by Repetitive Movements and Isometric Tasks on Reaction Time
(Elsevier, 2020-09-25)
[Abstract]
Purpose:
The understanding of fatigue of the human motor system is important in the fields of ergonomics, sport, rehabilitation and neurology. In order to understand the interactions between fatigue and reaction ...
Controlled trial on the effect of 10 days low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor signs in Parkinson´s disease
(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 ...
