The motor cortex drives the muscles during walking in human subjects
TH Petersen, M Willerslev‐Olsen… - The Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Key points• It is often assumed that automatic movements such as walking require little
conscious attention and it has therefore been argued that these movements require little …

Motor recovery after spinal cord injury enhanced by strengthening corticospinal synaptic transmission
The corticospinal tract is an important target for motor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI)
in animals and humans [1–5]. Voluntary motor output depends on the efficacy of synapses …

Gait training facilitates central drive to ankle dorsiflexors in children with cerebral palsy
Foot drop and toe walking are frequent concerns in children with cerebral palsy. The main
underlying cause of these problems is early damage and lack of maturation of the …

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity in lower-limb motoneurons after human spinal cord injury
MA Urbin, RA Ozdemir, T Tazoe… - Journal of …, 2017 - journals.physiology.org
Recovery of lower-limb function after spinal cord injury (SCI) likely depends on transmission

Dynamics of corticospinal motor control during overground and treadmill walking in humans
Increasing evidence suggests cortical involvement in the control of human gait. However,
the nature of corticospinal interactions remains poorly understood. We performed time …

Properties of the surface electromyogram following traumatic spinal cord injury: a scoping review
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts spinal and supraspinal pathways, and this
process is reflected in changes in surface electromyography (sEMG). sEMG is an informative …

Corticospinal control of normal and visually guided gait in healthy older and younger adults
We investigated age-related differences in corticospinal control of muscle activity during
normal and visually guided (VG) walking. Young (n= 15, 22.1±1.7 years) and older (n= 15 …
