Hand motor fatigability induced by a simple isometric task in spinal cord injury
(MDPI, 2022-08-30)
[Abstract] This study aimed: (1) to evaluate the hand motor fatigability in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and compare it with measurements obtained form an able-bodied population; (2) to compare the hand motor ...
Exploring the role of the left DLPFC in fatigue during unresisted rhythmic movements
(Wiley, 2022-04-16)
[Abstract] Understanding central fatigue during motor activities is important in neuroscience and different medical fields. The central mechanisms of motor fatigue are known in depth for isometric muscle contractions; ...
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 ...
Virtual Reality as a Tool for Evaluation of Repetitive Rhythmic Movements in the Elderly and Parkinson’s Disease Patients
(PLoS ONE, 2012-01-18)
[Abstract] This work presents an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) system to evaluate, and potentially treat, the alterations in rhythmic
hand movements seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the elderly (EC), by comparison ...
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 ...
Acute effects of a single neurodynamic mobilization session on range of motion and H-reflex in asymptomatic young subjects: a controlled study
(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 ...
Response of spinal excitability to different short-lasting motor tasks: preliminary results
(Springer Nature, 2017)
[Abstract] Understanding the origin of muscle fatigue is essential for optimizing
neuro-rehabilitation treatments. Fatigue is tasks dependent and its neural substrates
have been deeply addressed for isometric contractions. ...
Peripheral-Central Interplay for Fatiguing Unresisted Repetitive Movements: A Study Using Muscle Ischaemia and m1 Neuromodulation
(Nature Research, 2021-01-22)
[Abstract]
Maximal-rate rhythmic repetitive movements cannot be sustained for very long, even if unresisted. Peripheral and central mechanisms of fatigue, such as the slowing of muscle relaxation and an increase in M1-GABAb ...
