The ability to adapt our locomotion in a feedforward (ie,“predictive”) manner is crucial for
safe and efficient walking behavior. Equally important is the ability to quickly deadapt and …

Motor learning involves plasticity in a network of brain areas across the cortex and
cerebellum. Such traces of learning have the potential to affect subsequent learning of other …

Background It is firmly established that postural threat seems to lead to an increased
reliance on an ankle control ('stiffening') strategy. However, little is known about how …

When learning a new motor skill, people often must use trial and error to discover which
movement is best. In the reinforcement learning framework, this concept is known as …

Humans continuously adapt locomotor patterns. Whether metabolic cost reduction is the
primary objective or a by-product of the observed biomechanical changes during adaptation …

Humans have a remarkable ability to learn a wide range of motor behaviours and adapt
them to different conditions. Motor learning involves rectifying movement errors and …
