Neuroprosthetics is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between neurosciences and
biomedical engineering, which aims at replacing or modulating parts of the nervous system …

Modeling human motor control and predicting how humans will move in novel environments
is a grand scientific challenge. Researchers in the fields of biomechanics and motor control …

Epidural electrical stimulation of the lumbar spinal cord is currently regaining momentum as
a neuromodulation intervention in spinal cord injury (SCI) to modify dysregulated …

Animal locomotion is the result of complex and multi-layered interactions between the
nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. Decoding the underlying …

Background Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is a non-invasive modality in
which electrodes can stimulate spinal circuitries and facilitate a motor response. This review …

Central pattern generators (CPGs) are generally defined as networks of neurons capable of
enabling the production of central commands, specifically controlling stereotyped, rhythmic …

Muscle spindles are encapsulated sensory organs found in most of our muscles. Prevalent
models of sensorimotor control assume the role of spindles is to reliably encode limb …

Posterior root-muscle (PRM) reflexes are short-latency spinal reflexes evoked by epidural or
transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in clinical and physiological studies. PRM …

Unperturbed human locomotion presumably results from feedforward shifts in stable body
equilibrium in the environment, thus avoiding falling and subsequent catching considered in …

How do four-legged animals adapt their locomotion to the environment? How do central and
peripheral mechanisms interact within the spinal cord to produce adaptive locomotion and …
