Neural circuits linking activity in anatomically segregated populations of neurons in
subcortical structures and the neocortex throughout the human brain regulate complex …

A well‐coordinated facilitation–inhibition control of motor neuronal persistent inward
currents (PICs) via diffuse neuromodulation and local inhibition is essential to ensure motor …

Nervous system maladaptation is linked to the loss of maximal strength and motor control
with aging. Motor unit discharge rates are a critical determinant of force production; thus …

Background Recovery of quiet standing balance early poststroke has been poorly
investigated using repeated measurements. Objective To investigate (1) the time course of …

Increased muscle activation during whole-body vibration (WBV) is mainly ascribed to a
complex spinal and supraspinal neurophysiological mechanism termed the tonic vibration …

Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that
has been used to facilitate the performance of voluntary motor functions such as trunk …

Background Widespread demyelination in the central nervous system can lead to
progressive sensorimotor impairments following multiple sclerosis, with compromised …

Introduction Load variation is associated with changes in joint torque and compensatory
reflex activation and thus, has a considerable impact on balance control. Previous studies …

Closed-loop controlled functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to the lower limb
muscles can be used as a neuroprosthesis for standing balance in neurologically impaired …

Purpose Activation of the calf (gastrocnemius and soleus) and tibialis anterior muscles play
an important role in blood pressure regulation (via muscle-pump mechanism) and postural …
