Measuring human locomotor control using EMG and EEG: Current knowledge, limitations and future considerations
Electrical signals encoding different forms of information can be observed at multiple levels
of the human nervous system. Typically, these signals have been recorded in a rather …

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 …

More bang for the buck: Autonomy support increases muscular efficiency
The purpose of this study was to examine whether conditions that provide performers with a
sense of autonomy, by giving them choices, would increase movement efficiency. We …

Calibration of the leg muscle responses elicited by predictable perturbations of stance and the effect of vision
S Sozzi, A Nardone, M Schieppati - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Motor adaptation due to task practice implies a gradual shift from deliberate control of
behavior to automatic processing, which is less resource-and effort-demanding. This is true …
