The vertebrate control of locomotion involves all levels of the nervous system from cortex to
the spinal cord. Here, we aim to cover all main aspects of this complex behavior, from the …

Locomotion results from intricate dynamic interactions between a central program and
feedback mechanisms. The central program relies fundamentally on a genetically …

Previously, we reported that one individual who had a motor complete, but sensory
incomplete spinal cord injury regained voluntary movement after 7 months of epidural …

Background Repeated periods of stimulation of the spinal cord and training increased the
ability to control movement in animal models of spinal cord injury. We hypothesised that …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

After complete spinal cord transections that removed all supraspinal inputs in adult rats,
combinations of serotonergic agonists and epidural electrical stimulation were able to …

An electromyographic (EMG) activity pattern for individual muscles in the gait cycle exhibits
a great deal of intersubject, intermuscle and context‐dependent variability. Here we …

Non‐patterned electrical stimulation of the posterior structures of the lumbar spinal cord in
subjects with complete, long‐standing spinal cord injury, can induce patterned, locomotor …

When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

Rehabilitation after hemiplegic stroke has typically relied on the training of patients in
compensatory strategies. The translation of neuroscientific research into care has led to new …
