often incapacitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other parkinsonian …

Self-generated sounds of locomotion and ventilation and the evolution of human rhythmic abilities

M Larsson - Animal cognition, 2014 - Springer
It has been suggested that the basic building blocks of music mimic sounds of moving
humans, and because the brain was primed to exploit such sounds, they eventually became …

A holistic approach to study the temporal variability in gait

P Federolf, K Tecante, B Nigg - Journal of biomechanics, 2012 - Elsevier
Movement variability has become an important field of research and has been studied to
gain a better understanding of the neuro-muscular control of human movements. In addition …
