Voluntary actions are controlled by the synaptic inputs that are shared by pools of spinal
motor neurons. The slow common oscillations in the discharge times of motor units due to …

Background and Purpose: No studies have synthesized the literature regarding mechanical
muscle function (ie, strength, power, rate of force development [RFD]) in people with …

Aim Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized,
among the others, by muscle weakness. PD patients reach lower values of peak torque …

Introduction Understanding the nuances of neuromuscular control is crucial in unravelling
the complexities of developmental coordination disorder (DCD), which has been associated …

Bradykinesia, or slowness of movement, is a defining feature of Parkinson disease (PD) and
a major contributor to the negative effects on quality of life associated with this disorder and …

Aim Decreased muscle strength has been frequently observed in individuals with
Parkinson's disease (PD). However, this condition is still poorly examined in physically …

Inhibition is a key cognitive control mechanism humans use to enable goal-directed
behavior. When rapidly exerted, inhibitory control has broad, nonselective motor effects …

Background Vibration of one limb affects motor performance of the contralateral limb, and
this may have clinical implications for people with lateralized motor impairments through …

Objective Lower extremity force steadiness has been shown to decrease with aging and
neuromotor dysfunction and to be associated with physical function and fall. Although …

During voluntary isometric contractions of upper extremity muscles in individuals with
chronic stroke, the magnitude of force variability appears to increase consistently as force …
