Reciprocal Inhibition Post-stroke is Related to Reflex Excitability and Movement Ability [PDF]

, 2012
Objective Decreased reciprocal inhibition (RI) of motor neurons may contribute to spasticity after stroke. However, decreased RI is not a uniform observation among stroke survivors, suggesting that this spinal circuit may be influenced by other stroke ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Arm muscle synergies enhance hand posture prediction in combination with forearm muscle synergies

Journal of Neural Engineering
Abstract Objective. We analyze and interpret arm and forearm muscle activity in relation with the kinematics of hand pre-shaping during reaching and grasping from the perspective of human synergistic motor control. Approach. Ten subjects performed six tasks involving reaching, grasping and object manipulation.

A Model of Movement Coordinates in Motor Cortex: Posture-Dependent Changes in the Gain and Direction of Single Cell Tuning Curves [PDF]

, 2000
Central to the problem of elucidating the cortical mechanisms that mediate movement behavior is an investigation of the coordinate systems by which movement variables are encoded in the firing rates of individual motor cortical neurons.

Anticipatory synergy adjustments reflect individual performance of feedforward force control [PDF]

, 2016
We grasp and dexterously manipulate an object through multi-1 digit synergy. In the framework of the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) hypothesis, multi-digit synergy is defined as the coordinated control mechanism of fingers to stabilize variable important ...
