Objectives: Decades of research have convincingly shown that fear of pain and pain-related
avoidance behavior are important precursors of disability in daily life. Reduced activity as a …

In the past decade, advanced technologies in robotics have been explored to enhance the
rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Previous works have shown that gait assistance for …

When people experience or expect pain, they move differently. Pain-altered movement
strategies, collectively described here as pain-related movement dysfunction (PRMD), may …

Motor learning underpins successful motor skill acquisition. Although it is well known that
pain changes the way we move, it's impact on motor learning is less clear. The aim of this …

Methods The present study assessed how acute pain in the anterior deltoid muscle affects
movement accuracy of fast arm-reaching movements during force field perturbations and …

Background Experimental pain during gait has been shown to interfere with learning a new
locomotor task. However, very few studies have investigated the impact of clinical pain on …

Despite abundant evidence that pain alters movement performance, considerably less is
known about the potential effects of pain on motor learning. Some of the brain regions …

Musculoskeletal conditions often involve pain related to specific movements. However, most
studies on the impact of experimental pain on motor performance and learning have used …

Best practice in skill acquisition has been informed by motor control theories. The main aim
of this study is to screen existing literature on a relatively novel theory, Optimal Feedback …

Learning new movement patterns is a normal part of daily life, but of critical importance in
both sport and rehabilitation. A major question is how different sensory signals are …
