The challenge-point framework as a model for thinking about motor learning was first
proposed in 2004. Although it has been well-cited, surprisingly this framework has not made …

Optimal strategies for enhancing strength and improving motor skills are vital in athletic
performance and clinical rehabilitation. Initial increases in strength and the acquisition of …

Motor skill learning has been linked to functional and structural changes in the brain.
Musicians and athletes undergo intensive motor training through the practice of an …

Background The strength of connections between motor cortex (MCX) and muscle can be
augmented with a variety of stimulation protocols. Augmenting MCX-to-muscle connection …

Motor skill training alters the human nervous system; however, lower limb motor tasks have
been less researched compared to upper limb tasks. This meta-analysis with best evidence …

We developed a system for augmenting humans' ability to learn Kendama tricks through
virtual reality (VR) training. It is often considered to be difficult to play because the ball …

Skill retention is important for motor rehabilitation outcomes. Recent work has demonstrated
that delayed visuospatial memory performance may predict motor skill retention in older and …

In this study, we investigated the effects of motor practice with an emphasis on either
position or force control on motor performance, motor accuracy and variability in …

We extended the results of a previous study suggesting that although practice in a grapho-
motor task by 7-to 8-year-olds led to gains in within-session performance, no long-term …

Descending tracts carry motor signals from the brain to spinal cord. However, few previous
studies show the full view of the long tracts from a 3D perspective. In this study, we have …
