The excitability of resting motoneurons increases following spinal cord injury (SCI). The
extent to which motoneuron excitability changes during voluntary muscle activity in humans …

Cervical level spinal cord injury (SCI) can severely impact upper limb muscle function, which
is typically assessed in the clinic using electromyography (EMG). Here, we established …

Complete spinal cord injury (SCI) results in inactivation and unloading of affected skeletal
muscles. Unloading causes an increased susceptibility of muscle to contraction-induced …

Corticomuscular synchronization has been shown to occur in beta (15–30 Hz) and gamma
range (30–45 Hz) during isometric compensation of static and dynamic (periodically …

Bilateral voluntary contractions involve functional changes in both primary motor cortices.
We investigated whether a voluntary contraction controlled by one hemisphere can …

Corticomuscular interactions are studied mostly with EEG/EMG coherence, which, however,
does not allow quantification of amplitude dynamics of sensorimotor oscillations. Here, we …

Humans with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) often recover voluntary control of elbow flexors
and, to a much lesser extent, elbow extensor muscles. The neural mechanisms underlying …

Multiple studies have corroborated the restoration of volitional motor control after motor-
complete spinal cord injury (SCI) through the use of epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) …

To elucidate the underlying physiological mechanisms of muscle synergies, we investigated
long-range functional connectivity by cortico-muscular (CMC), intermuscular (IMC) and …

Correlations between physiological, clinical and self-reported assessments of spasticity are
often weak. Our aims were to quantify functional, self-reported and physiological indices of …
