Exercise interventions in individuals with Parkinson's disease incorporate goal-based motor
skill training to engage cognitive circuitry important in motor learning. With this exercise …

Neuromechanical principles define the properties and problems that shape neural solutions
for movement. Although the theoretical and experimental evidence is debated, we present …

Background In the past decade, there has been substantial progress in the development of
robotic controllers that specify how lower-limb exoskeletons should interact with brain …
