Direction-Dependent Adaptation of Dynamic Gait Stability Following Waist-Pull Perturbations

Silvestro Micera

Balance recovery during an unexpected disturbance is a complex motor task, where part of the variability depends on the type of the perturbation itself. Despite of this, little is known to what extent adaptation mechanisms to repeated perturbations are dep ...

Hyper-specificity of perceptual learning

Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Perceptual learning is the ability to improve perception through practice. Perceptual learning is usually specific for the task and the stimulus features trained with. For example, training orientation discrimination with vertically oriented stimuli does n ...

Physical activity monitoring based on wearable technology combining inertial and barometric pressure sensors : application to stroke patients

Fabien Massé

Stroke, or cerebral-vascular accident is the leading cause of disabilities in the western world. It primarily affects mobility due to a degradation of principal motor functions such as balance and gait. This reduction of mobility directly impacts the spect ...

Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in post-stroke patients

Silvestro Micera

Background. Robotics and related technologies are realizing their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy but the mechanism by which they enhance recovery is still unknown. The electromechanical-driven gait orthosis Lokomat has demonstrat ...

Balancing the Self

Mariia Kaliuzhna

The vestibular system is composed of otolith organs and semi-circular canals that encode linear and angular accelerations, as well as the position of the head with respect to gravity. Thus, the detection of self-motion, the distinction between self- and ob ...
