After spinal cord injury (SCI), various sensorimotor functions can recover, ranging from
simple spinal reflexes to more elaborate motor patterns, such as locomotion. Locomotor …

During bipedal locomotor activities, humans use elements of quadrupedal neuronal limb
control. Evolutionary constraints can help inform the historical ancestry for preservation of …

The functional preference for the upper limb influences the occurrence of bilateral
differences in other segments of the human body. The aim of the study is to assess the …

The EMG activity of upper limb muscles during human gait has rarely been studied
previously. It was examined in 20 normal volunteers in four conditions: walking on a …

To understand the role of trunk muscles in maintenance of dynamic postural equilibrium we
investigate trunk movements during gait initiation and walking, performing trunk kinematics …

Background The trunk muscles are critical for postural control. Recent neurophysiological
studies have revealed sparing of trunk muscle function in individuals with spinal cord injury …

Deficits in postural control are one of the hallmarks of disability in children with cerebral
palsy (CP). Yet, much remains unknown regarding the etiology of postural deficits in these …

The body axis plays a central role in tetrapod locomotion. It contributes to the work of
locomotion, provides the foundation for the production of mechanical work by the limbs, is …

Handball is among the disciplines that impose a significant degree of asymmetry on the
body movement. The aim of the study is to assess the influence of physical effort on the …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate abdominal and low back muscle activation amplitudes of older
adults (at least 50 years of age) experiencing nonspecific chronic low back pain (LBP) and …
