Neuromuscular Control

Differences in ankle neuromuscular control between the preferred speed and fixed speeds during walking

Differences in ankle neuromuscular control between the preferred speed and fixed speeds during walking 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Walking at the preferred speed, considered as a self-optimized gait pattern, is associated with improved energy conservation and cognitive abilities. However, the neuro-muscular mechanisms underlying the benefits of the preferred… read more

Quantifying Nonlinear Contributions to Cortical Responses Evoked by Continuous Wrist Manipulation

Author(s)3: Martijn P. Vlaar, Teodoro Solis-Escalante, Alistair N. Vardy, Frans C. T. van der Helm, Alfred C. Schouten
Quantifying Nonlinear Contributions to Cortical Responses Evoked by Continuous Wrist Manipulation 780 435 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Cortical responses to continuous stimuli as recorded using either magneto- or electroencephalography (EEG) have shown power at harmonics of the stimulated frequency, indicating nonlinear behavior. Even though the selection of…
