Spasticity and weakness (spastic paresis) are the primary motor impairments after stroke
and impose significant challenges for treatment and patient care. Spasticity emerges and …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder of
the motor neurons in the motor cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. A combination of upper …

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the adult motor system.
Characterised by a slowly progressive upper motor neuron syndrome, the diagnosis is …

Paralysis of the muscles controlling the hand dramatically limits the quality of life for
individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Here, with a non-invasive neural interface, we …

Cortical and subcortical plastic reorganization occurs in the course of motor recovery after
stroke. It is largely accepted that plasticity of ipsilesional motor cortex primarily contributes to …

Multiple descending motor pathways likely contribute to the recovery of hand motor function
following spinal cord injury (SCI). Reticulospinal neurons project to spinal motor neurons …

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) has been traditionally viewed as a distinct upper motor
neuron condition (UMN) but is increasingly regarded as a sub-phenotype within the …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal progressive adult-onset neurodegeneration
of the motor system. Although originally considered a pure motor degeneration, there is …

Background. Recent evidence from both monkey and human studies suggests that the
reticulospinal tract may contribute to recovery of arm and hand function after stroke. In this …

Coherence analysis has the ability to identify the presence of common descending drive
shared by motor unit pools and reveals its spectral properties. However, the link between …
