Functional muscle networks reveal the mechanistic effects of post-stroke rehabilitation on motor impairment and therapeutic responsiveness

This study uses a novel muscle network analysis framework to assess post-stroke motor impairment and treatment responsiveness, identifying biomarkers and shifts in muscle coordination associated with recovery.

Cortical involvement in stroke survivors for balance maintenance

This study investigates how stroke affects cortical involvement in balance control by measuring corticokinematic coherence in stroke survivors and healthy controls.

A physiologically inspired hybrid CPG/Reflex controller for cycling simulations that generalizes to walking

The paper introduces a hybrid controller for cycling simulations that generalizes to walking by combining feedforward and feedback components.

New Neural Controller Generalises Modular Control Across Lower-Limb Tasks Using Internal Models

This paper introduces a modular neural controller that transitions between lower-limb motor tasks using internal models and functional muscle synergies in a simulation.

Subsensory stochastic electrical stimulation targeting muscle afferents alters gait control during locomotor adaptations to haptic perturbations

This study shows that subsensory electrical stimulation of muscle afferents speeds up but reduces the extent of gait adaptation to haptic perturbations.

Analysis of the effectiveness of sub-sensory electrical noise stimulation during visuomotor adaptations in different visual feedback conditions

This study investigates how sub-sensory electrical noise stimulation affects motor performance during visuomotor tasks with varying visual feedback, finding benefits when proprioception is dominant but limited effects when visual feedback is present.

Temporal and spatial asymmetries during stationary cycling cause different feedforward and feedback modifications in the muscular control of the lower limbs

This study shows that motor adaptations in lower limb cycling can occur without balance threats, with temporal asymmetries triggering feedforward changes and spatial asymmetries causing feedback responses without aftereffects.

Consistent visuomotor adaptations and generalizations can be achieved through different rotations of robust motor modules

The paper shows that visuomotor adaptations to a 45-degree rotation can be achieved through differential tuning of robust muscle synergies, with consistent generalization across different rotations.
