Central pattern generators are neuronal circuits that when activated can produce rhythmic
motor patterns such as walking, breathing, flying, and swimming in the absence of sensory …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Preclinical and clinical neurophysiological and neurorehabilitation research has generated
rather surprising levels of recovery of volitional sensory-motor function in persons with …

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) in humans, and experimental animals,,, are often associated with
varying degrees of spontaneous functional recovery during the first months after injury. Such …

The vertebrate motor system is equipped with a number of neuronal networks that underlie
different patterns of behaviour, from simple protective reflexes to complex movements. The …

This article provides a perspective on major innovations over the past century in research on
the spinal cord and, specifically, on specialized spinal circuits involved in the control of …

▪ Abstract Motor function is severely disrupted following spinal cord injury (SCI). The spinal
circuitry, however, exhibits a great degree of automaticity and plasticity after an injury …

We recently showed that four muscle synergies can reproduce multiple muscle activation
patterns in cats during postural responses to support surface translations. We now test the …

Background While manually-assisted body-weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) has
revealed improved locomotor function in persons with post-stroke hemiparesis, outcomes …
