The engaged action hypothesis: Explaining the merits of external focus cues

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
The attentional focus effect—the theory that focusing on the body during skilled tasks leads to suboptimal results relative to focusing externally—is well established, but it is not known why it holds. The most widely cited explanation is the constrained action hypothesis: Focusing on the body interferes with beneficial automatic motor programs.

Effect of Upper Robot‐Assisted Training on Upper Limb Motor, Daily Life Activities, and Muscular Tone in Patients With Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Brain and Behavior
Background Upper limb rehabilitation robot is a relatively new technology, but its effectiveness remains debatable due to the inconsistent results of clinical trials. This article intends to assess how upper limb rehabilitation robots help the functional

Personalized Brain-Computer Interface Models for Motor Rehabilitation

, 2017
We propose to fuse two currently separate research lines on novel therapies for stroke rehabilitation: brain-computer interface (BCI) training and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES).

From Finger Taps to Footsteps: Gait as a Model for Investigating and Training Rhythmic Abilities

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Motor rhythmic abilities, like auditory–motor synchronization, are often assessed using finger‐tapping tasks. Here, we propose gait as a richer, more ecologically valid alternative, which engages the whole body, is continuous, and taps into both automatic and voluntary control.

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Test–retest reliability of Doppler ultrasound‐based leg blood flow assessments during exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Doppler ultrasound may be used to assess leg blood flow (Q̇leg${{\dot{Q}}_{{\mathrm{leg}}}}$), but the reliability of this method remains unexplored in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where between‐subject variability may be larger than healthy due to peripheral vascular changes.

The modified Borg cycle strength test (mBCST): Feasibility and physiological response in people with COPD and healthy older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate prescription of supramaximal exercise requires exercise tests covering the intensity domain between maximal aerobic and peak power output. All‐out tests are commonly used for this objective but are considered challenging for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to the extreme physiological demand.
