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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
