Age-related changes in the basic functional unit of the neuromuscular system, the motor unit,
and its neural inputs have a profound effect on motor function, especially among the …

Muscle strength is sex-related and declines with advancing age; yet, a comprehensive
comparative evaluation of age-related strength loss in human females and males has not …

During voluntary muscle contractions, force output is characterized by constant inherent
fluctuations, which can be quantified either according to their magnitude or temporal …

Neuromuscular noise is a determining factor in the control of isometric force steadiness (FS),
quantified as coefficient of variation (CV) of force around a preestablished target output. In …

Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience progressive declines in movement
capabilities, especially walking performance. The purpose of our study was to compare the …

The purpose was to identify the variables that can explain the variance in the grooved
pegboard times of older adults categorized as either fast or slow performers. Participants (n …

Background As the population of adults aged 65 and above is rapidly growing, it is crucial to
identify physical and cognitive limitations pertaining to daily living. Cognitive fatigue has …

Whether reduced supraspinal activation contributes to age-related reductions in maximal
torque during dynamic contractions is not known. The purpose was to determine whether …

A cognitive challenge when imposed during a low-force isometric contraction will
exacerbate sex-and age-related decreases in force steadiness, but the mechanism is not …

Despite activities of daily living being frequently performed simultaneously with a cognitive
task, motor function is often investigated in isolation, which can hinder the applicability of …
