Low-frequency oscillations and control of the motor output
N Lodha, EA Christou - Frontiers in physiology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
A less precise force output impairs our ability to perform movements, learn new motor tasks,
and use tools. Here we show that low-frequency oscillations in force are detrimental to force …

Endpoint accuracy of goal-directed ankle movements correlates to over-ground walking in stroke
Objectives Goal-directed movements are essential for voluntary motor control. The inability
to execute precise goal-directed movements after stroke can impair the ability to perform …
