A modular planar robotic manipulandum with end-point torque control.
16 May 2009 
Robotic manipulanda are extensively used in investigation of the motor control of human arm movements. They permit the application of translational forces to the arm based on its state and can be used to probe issues ranging from mechanisms of ...

15 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Motor problems are common in children born preterm or small for gestational age. AIM: To study the predictive value of early motor assessments for later motor skills. SUBJECTS: Twenty-eight children born preterm with very low birth ...

Problems experienced by people with arthritis when using a computer.
13 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of computer use problems experienced by a sample of people with arthritis, and to determine differences in the magnitude of these problems among people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), and ...

Motor behavior activates Bergmann glial networks.
12 May 2009 Although it is firmly established that neuronal activity is a prime determinant of animal behavior, relationships between astrocytic excitation and animal behavior have remained opaque. Cerebellar Bergmann glia are radial astrocytes that are ...

11 May 2009 The coordination of the oculomotor and manual effector systems is an important component of daily motor behavior. Previous work has primarily examined oculomotor/manual coordination in discrete targeting tasks. Here we extend this work to learning a ...

Muscle synergies as a predictive framework for the EMG patterns of new hand postures.
10 May 2009 Synchronous muscle synergies have been suggested as a framework for dimensionality reduction in muscle coordination. Many studies have shown that synergies form a descriptive framework for a wide variety of tasks. We examined if a muscle synergy ...

Multiple roles for nicotine in Parkinson's disease.
7 May 2009 There exists a remarkable diversity of neurotransmitter compounds in the striatum, a pivotal brain region in the pathology of Parkinson's disease, a movement disorder characterized by rigidity, tremor and bradykinesia. The striatal dopaminergic ...

The resting human brain and motor learning.
5 May 2009 
Functionally related brain networks are engaged even in the absence of an overt behavior. The role of this resting state activity, evident as low-frequency fluctuations of BOLD (see [1] for review, [2-4]) or electrical [5, 6] signals, is unclear. ...

5 May 2009 Effects of long-term motor practice on movement-related brain activities were investigated by measuring from the scalp, movement-related cortical potentials (MRCP) associated with self-paced right (dominant) and left (non-dominant) brisk handgrip ...

4 May 2009 Activity-dependent plasticity occurs throughout the CNS. However, investigations of skill acquisition usually focus on cortex. To expand the focus, we analyzed in humans the development of operantly conditioned H-reflex change, a simple motor skill ...
