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 ...
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Cocaine Addiction: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2021-11-28)
[Abstract] Long-term cocaine use is associated with cognitive deficits and neuro-psychiatric pathologies. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an emerging therapeutic strategy relating to changes in brain ...
Hyperthermia-Induced Changes in EEG of Anesthetized Mice Subjected to Passive Heat Exposure
(Frontiers, 2021-09-09)
[Abstract] Currently, the role of hypothermia in electroencephalography (EEG) is well-established. However, few studies have investigated the effect of hyperthermia on EEG, an important physiological parameter governing ...
The effects of waveform and current direction on the efficacy and test–retest reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation
(Elsevier, 2018-10-06)
[Abstract] The pulse waveform and current direction of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) influence its interactions with the neural substrate; however, their role in the efficacy and reliability of single- and ...
Temporal Dynamics of Muscle, Spinal and Cortical Excitability and Their Association With Kinematics During Three Minutes of Maximal-Rate Finger Tapping
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-21)
[Abstract]
We tested peripheral, spinal and cortical excitability during 3 minutes of unresisted finger tapping at the maximal possible rate, which induced fatigue. Subsequently, we studied the temporal dynamics of muscle ...
Effect of Stimulation Timing on Testing Voluntary Muscle Force Generation
(Elsevier, 2020-10-08)
[Abstract]
Background.
The interpolated twitch technique (ITT) is a ubiquitous test for assessing the level of voluntary muscle force generation, in which muscle twitches are evoked via percutaneous electrical stimulation. ...
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 ...
Effects of a finger tapping fatiguing task on M1-intracortical inhibition and central drive to the muscle
(Nature, 2018)
[Abstract] The central drive to the muscle reduces when muscle force wanes during sustained MVC, and this is generally considered the neurophysiological footprint of central fatigue. The question is if force loss and the ...
