Pathophysiology of spasticity.
P Brown - Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry, 1994 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Spasticity is a frequent and often disabling feature of neurological disease. It may result in
loss of mobility and pain from spasms. The core feature of the spastic state is the …

Human neuronal interlimb coordination during split-belt locomotion
Human interlimb coordination and the adaptations in leg muscle activity were studied during
walking on a treadmill with split belts. Four different belt speeds (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 m/s) were …
