The aim of this study was to determine the impact of aging and Parkinson’s disease (PD) on lower limb muscle strength before and after muscle fatigue. One hundred thirty-five individuals were distributed over seven groups ...

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of muscular fatigue on the interaction between posture and movement during a lower limb pointing task. Methods: Participants (n = 16), aged 18–30 years, ...

A prototype of an upper limb prosthesis with a single control is presented in this paper. The prosthesis has 16 degrees of freedom, five fingers with independent joints and articulations in the hand’s palm, being able to ...

Introduction Upper limb motor impairment after a stroke is an important sequela. Constraint-induced movement therapy is a rehabilitation approach that has strong evidence. The incorporation of transcranial direct-current ...

Given that the auditory system is rather well developed at the end of the third trimester of pregnancy, it is likely that couplings between acoustics and motor activity can be integrated as early as at the beginning of ...

This study aimed to investigate intra-limb coordination in non-disabled individuals walking with and without a constrained knee and in individuals with stroke. We hypothesized that a constrained knee would modify the ...

This study aimed to analyze the function of upper limbs, in the reach movement to a target, with and without a weight bracelet, in individuals with encephalopathy who had involuntary movements of upper limbs. 7 individuals ...
