Effects of hand muscle function and dominance on intra-muscle synergies

S Madarshahian, ML Latash - Human Movement Science, 2022 - Elsevier
The goal of the study was to explore the effects of hand dominance and muscle function
(prime mover vs. supporting muscle) on recently discovered intra-muscle synergies as …

Left hemisphere dominance for bilateral kinematic encoding in the human brain

CM Merrick, TC Dixon, A Breska, J Lin, EF Chang… - elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
Neurophysiological studies in humans and nonhuman primates have revealed movement
representations in both the contralateral and ipsilateral hemispheres. Inspired by clinical …

Bilateral arm movements are coordinated via task-dependent negotiations between independent and codependent control, but not by a “coupling” control policy

NM Kitchen, J Yuk, A Przybyla… - Journal of …, 2023 - journals.physiology.org
Prior research has shown that coordination of bilateral arm movements might be attributed to
either control policies that minimize performance and control costs regardless of bilateral …

[HTML][HTML] Impact of Starting Knee Flexion Angle on Muscle Activity and Performance during Plyometrics without Jumping

M Torres-Banduc, I Chirosa-Ríos, L Chirosa-Ríos… - Sensors, 2023 - mdpi.com
Most of the existing research has focused on jump plyometrics, where landing reaction
forces must be dissipated among lower limb articulations. In contrast, the investigation of …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic involvement of premotor and supplementary motor areas in bimanual pinch force control

AN Karabanov, G Chillemi, KH Madsen, HR Siebner - NeuroImage, 2023 - Elsevier
Many activities of daily living require quick shifts between symmetric and asymmetric
bimanual actions. Bimanual motor control has been mostly studied during continuous …

[HTML][HTML] A novel virtual reality approach for functional lateralization in healthy adults

B Sokołowska - Brain Research, 2021 - Elsevier
Functional lateralization relates to a natural asymmetry in the dominance right or left body
side, and is a fundamental principle of the brain. The hemispheres of the brain control the …

Symmetry and synchrony of bimanual movements are not predicated on interlimb control coupling

J Yuk, NM Kitchen, A Przybyla… - Journal of …, 2024 - journals.physiology.org
Previous studies suggest that bimanual coordination recruits neural mechanisms that
explicitly couple control of the arms, resulting in symmetric kinematics. However, the higher …

A rare case of deafferentation reveals an essential role of proprioception in bilateral coordination

JE Schaffer, FR Sarlegna, RL Sainburg - Neuropsychologia, 2021 - Elsevier
Loss of proprioception has been shown to produce deficits in intralimb coordination and in
the ability to stabilize limb posture in the absence of visual feedback. However, the role of …

Visual feedback decoding during bimanual circle drawing

M Nazarahari, S Ajami, S Jeon… - Journal of …, 2023 - journals.physiology.org
The between-hand interference during bimanual tasks is a consequence of the connection
between the neural controllers of movement. Previous studies showed the existence of an …
