Limitations in mobility are common in persons with intellectual disabilities (ID). As balance
and gait capacities are key aspects of mobility, the prevalence of balance and gait problems …

Locomotor coordination characterizes healthy gait and rehabilitation effectiveness in
poststroke individuals. However, despite a large number of clinic-based and laboratory …

Mendonca GV, Pereira FD, Fernhall B. Effects of combined aerobic and resistance exercise
training in adults with and without Down syndrome. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether …

For a successful completion of a movement task the motor control system has to observe a
multitude of internal constraints that govern the coordination of its segments. The purpose of …

This study investigated the feasibility of the uncontrolled manifold approach (UCM) to
analyse gait data variability in relation to the control of the centre of mass (COM) in adults …

In this paper we re-visit and elaborate-on the theoretical framework of learning as searching
within the perceptual-motor workspace for a solution to the task. The central focus is the …

Persons with Down syndrome (DS) have reduced peak and submaximal exercise capacity.
Because ambulation is one predictor of survival among adults with DS, a review of the …

To ensure stability during gait, mediolateral placement of the swinging foot must be actively
regulated. Logically this occurs through end-point control of the swing limb trajectory, the …

Background Although physical fitness has been suggested to improve physical and
psychosocial health for a variety of population profiles, there is a lack of information about …

We review practice-induced changes in two variance components defined based on the
uncontrolled manifold hypothesis. One of them affects task performance, whereas the other …
