Immersive virtual reality to assess unilateral spatial neglect in stroke patients: a preliminary study Open
Objectives: The conventional test to detect unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is the Bells Test performed in a paper-and-pencil format. While several studies showed immersive virtual reality (VR) tests may provide greater sensitivity in rev…
Aging Alters the Sense of Force but Not the Sense of Position in the Wrist and Ankle Joints Open
Introduction: The impact of aging on proprioceptive senses remains an open question. As the senses of position and force may rely on different neural substrates, we investigated the effect of aging on both senses to provide original and mo…
Persistent inward currents in tibialis anterior motoneurons can be reliably estimated within the same session Open
The response of spinal motoneurons to synaptic input greatly depends on the activation of persistent inward currents (PICs), the contribution of which can be estimated through the paired motor unit technique. Yet, the intra-session test-re…
Neural Adjustments during Repeated Braking and Throttle Actions on a Motorcycle Setup Open
The aim of the study was to assess neuromuscular changes during an intermittent fatiguing task designed to replicate fundamental actions and ergonomics of road race motorcycling. Twenty-eight participants repeated a sequence of submaximal …
Influence of Proprioceptive Inputs and Force Feedback Modality on Force Reproduction Performance Open
The sense of force can be assessed using a force reproduction task (FRT), which consists of matching a target force with visual feedback (TARGET phase) and reproducing it without visual feedback (REPRODUCTION phase). We investigated the re…
Age‐related changes in sensory and motor components of the Hoffmann‐reflex pathway of the flexor carpi radialis Open
Ageing is accompanied by numerous changes within the sensory and motor components of the muscle spindle pathway. To further document these age‐related changes, this study compared the characteristics of the Hoffmann (H) reflex and M wave, …
Can local vibration alter the contribution of persistent inward currents to human motoneuron firing? Open
The response of spinal motoneurons to synaptic input greatly depends on the activation of persistent inward currents (PICs), which in turn are enhanced by the neuromodulators serotonin and noradrenaline. Local vibration (LV) induces excita…
Protocols Targeting Afferent Pathways via Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for the Plantar Flexors: A Systematic Review Open
This systematic review documents the protocol characteristics of studies that used neuromuscular electrical stimulation protocols (NMES) on the plantar flexors [through triceps surae (TS) or tibial nerve (TN) stimulation] to stimulate affe…
Comparison between Two Different Handgrip Systems and Protocols on Force Reduction in Handgrip Assessment Open
Introduction: Fatigue resistance (FR) can be assessed as the time during which grip strength (GS) drops to 50% of its maximum during a sustained maximal voluntary contraction. For the first time, we compared force-time characteristics duri…
AGE-RELATED CHANGES IN THE HOFFMANN-REFLEX PATHWAY OF THE FLEXOR CARPI RADIALIS Open
Ageing is accompanied by numerous changes within the sensory and motor component of the muscle spindle pathway. To further document these age-related changes, this study compared the characteristics of the Hoffmann (H) reflex and M wave, e…
Changes of agonist and synergist muscles activity during a sustained submaximal brake-pulling gesture Open
We analyzed the time course of changes in muscle activity of the prime mover and synergist muscles during a sustained brake-pulling action and investigated the relationship between muscle activity and braking force fluctuation (FF). Thirty…

Unraveling the Cognitive-Motor Interaction in Individuals With Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment Open
Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether increasing the contribution of executive functions worsens dual-task performance in individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods: Fourteen individuals with aMCI (mean [S…
Muscle Fatigue When Riding a Motorcycle: A Case Study Open
This case study was conducted to assess muscle pattern, as measured by surface electromyography (sEMG), and its changes during a controlled superbike closed-road track training session. The sEMG signals were recorded unilaterally from bice…

Postural Control Disturbances Induced by Virtual Reality in Stroke Patients Open
People who survive a stroke are often left with long-term neurologic deficits that induce, among other impairments, balance disorders. While virtual reality (VR) is growing in popularity for postural control rehabilitation in post-stroke p…
Changes in corticospinal excitability during the preparation phase of ballistic and ramp contractions Open
Key points Changes in corticospinal excitability prior to a contraction may depend on its characteristics, including the rate of torque development. This study compared the specific modulation of cortical and spinal excitability during the…
Ageing does not change the contribution of muscle proprioception in the sense of force Open

Strength Training: In Search of Optimal Strategies to Maximize Neuromuscular Performance Open
Training with low-load exercise performed under blood flow restriction can augment muscle hypertrophy and maximal strength to a similar extent as the classical high-load strength training method. However, the blood flow restriction method …

Vibration‐induced depression in spinal loop excitability revisited Open
Key points While it has been well described that prolonged vibration locally applied to a muscle or its tendon (up to 1 h) decreases spinal loop excitability between homonymous Ia afferents and motoneurons, the involved mechanisms are not …

Age-related changes in leg proprioception: implications for postural control Open
In addition to being a prerequisite for many activities of daily living, the ability to maintain steady upright standing is a relevant model to study sensorimotor integrative function. Upright standing requires managing multimodal sensory …
