Obstacle Avoidance in Healthy Adults and People with Multiple Sclerosis: Preliminary fNIRS Study

Obstacle Avoidance in Healthy Adults and People with Multiple Sclerosis: Preliminary fNIRS Study 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
This study examined how gait adaptation during predictable and non-predictable obstacle avoidance affects the sensorimotor network in both healthy controls (HC) and persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). We utilized fNIRS… read more

Enhancing ERD Activation and Functional Connectivity via the Sixth-finger Motor Imagery in Stroke Patients

Enhancing ERD Activation and Functional Connectivity via the Sixth-finger Motor Imagery in Stroke Patients 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Motor imagery (MI) is widely employed in stroke rehabilitation due to the event-related desynchronization (ERD) phenomenon in sensorimotor cortex induced by MI is similar to actual movement. However, the traditional… read more

Neuromuscular mechanisms of motor adaptation to repeated treadmill-slip perturbations during stance in healthy young adults.

Neuromuscular mechanisms of motor adaptation to repeated treadmill-slip perturbations during stance in healthy young adults. 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Treadmill-based repeated perturbation training (PBT) induces motor adaptation in reactive balance responses, thus lowering the risk of slip-induced falls. However, little evidence exists regarding intervention-induced changes in neuromuscular control underlying… read more
