A Gluteus-Specific Muscle Synergy Recruited During the First Recovery Step Following a Backward Pitch Perturbation
A Gluteus-Specific Muscle Synergy Recruited During the First Recovery Step Following a Backward Pitch Perturbation 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The central nervous system momentarily activates a set of specific muscle synergies to maintain balance when external mechanical perturbations induce walking instability, which is critically involved in preventing falls. The… 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

Multi-directional Ankle Impedance During Standing Postures
Author(s)3: Guilherme A. Ribeiro, Lauren N. Knop, Mo Rastgaar
Multi-directional Ankle Impedance During Standing Postures 592 1000 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
In this study, we estimated the multi-directional ankle mechanical impedance in two degrees-of-freedom (DOF) during standing, and determined how the stiffness, damping, and inertia vary with ankle angle and ankle torque at different postures. read more
