This study compares arm and whole-body motor control in younger and older adults to determine if age-related changes reflect deterioration or compensation, finding that reduced whole-body movement efficiency correlates with balance control.

The paper analyzes phasic EMG activity during arm movements to show how the CNS optimizes gravity effects across movement speeds and directions.

This study shows that motor imagery training improves motor memory in very old adults, maintaining performance in manual dexterity and enhancing sequential stepping tasks compared to a control group.

The study finds that the dominant arm minimizes muscle effort more effectively than the non-dominant arm during vertical arm movements, as indicated by directional asymmetries and reduced negative epochs in muscular activity.

This study compares motor lateralization in young and older adults during vertical arm movements, finding reduced lateralization in older adults.

This study examines motor planning of vertical arm movements in young and older adults, finding that effort optimization persists with aging but shows increased directional asymmetry.
