Increased corticospinal excitability after rest with short term motor performance
Abstract Motor skill performance is associated with early changes in corticospinal excitability (CSE), yet the influence of rest periods surrounding motor activity on these neurophysiological responses remains unclear. This study examined how matched pre‐ and post‐activity rest intervals influence CSE following novel fine motor task performance. Twenty‐

Abstract Muscle cramps are painful, involuntary contractions thought to arise from altered spinal motoneuron excitability, potentially involving persistent inward currents (PICs). We examined whether cramp susceptibility is associated with altered PIC‐related motoneuron behaviour and whether electrically induced cramp modifies these estimates.

Common inputs to motor units are modulated by force profile and muscle length
Abstract Groups of motor units receive common synaptic inputs from specialized networks of premotor neurons to produce movement. Here, we test whether common inputs received by motor units in the first dorsal interosseous are fixed or task‐dependent during submaximal isometric contractions.

Disrupted bilateral co‐ordination of soleus motor units during early subacute stroke rehabilitation
Abstract figure legend Fourteen individuals with stroke undergoing inpatient subacute rehabilitation and sixteen age‐ and sex‐matched neurologically intact controls were studied. We assessed Berg Balance Scale scores and motor unit activity during quiet standing, examining activation of the soleus muscle during shifts in centre of pressure before and ...

ABSTRACT Background Chest tube thoracostomy may cause iatrogenic nerve injury, resulting in persistent pain and functional impairment. Long thoracic nerve (LTN) palsy after chest tube placement has been described, but concurrent involvement of the LTN and the lateral cutaneous branch of an intercostal nerve (LCIN) appears to be rarely reported.
