Physiological basis of limb-impedance modulation during free and constrained movements [PDF]
Arm stiffness is a critical factor underlying stable interactions with the environment. When the hand moves freely through space, a stiff limb would most effectively maintain the hand on the desired path in the face of external perturbations. Conversely,

Spinal Cord Injury and Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation [PDF]
Recent research of epidural and transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation has demonstrated unprecedented improvements in motor function thought to be irreversibly lost due to chronic, severe spinal cord injury.

Restoration of Frequency-Dependent Depression of the H-Reflex by Passive Exercise in Spinal Rats [PDF]
Hyper-reflexia, measured as a decrease of low frequency-dependent depression of the H-reflex, is known to occur in both humans and animals after spinal cord injury (SCI).

Differential effects of stimulation waveform and intensity on the neural structures activated by lumbar transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
Lumbar transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSS) evokes synchronized muscle responses, termed spinally evoked motor response (sEMR). Whether the structures TSS activates to evoke sEMRs differ when TSS intensity and waveform are varied is unknown.

Descending Systems Direct Development of Key Spinal Motor Circuits [PDF]
The formation of mature spinal motor circuits is dependent on both activity-dependent and independent mechanisms during postnatal development. During this time, reorganization and refinement of spinal sensorimotor circuits occurs as supraspinal ...
