Neuromuscular control adaptation during recovery from injury
… with acute musculoskeletal injuries, the human neuromuscular control system adapts to the imposed restrictions on motion in order to achieve desired kinematic outcomes. In some cases, these adaptations result in alternate compensation strategies that linger after the injury heals. By combining …

A Comparison of Neuromuscular Control between Subjects with and without Chronic Ankle Instability
… has been linked to impairments in postural and neuromuscular control; however, inconsistent findings have been reported. These discrepancies deem the need to further investigate and provide additional knowledge regarding postural and neuromuscular control strategies utilized by this population. …

Effects of localised cooling and warming on neuromuscular control in young and older women
… muscle temperature ~3/4° C of the lower limbs on neuromuscular control in young (18-26 years) and older (65-75 years) healdiy women. The principal aims were to investigate the effects of temperature on 1) maximal voluntary isometric and isokinetic contractions, and the electromyographic signal; 2) …

Exercise-Induced Low Back Pain and Neuromuscular Control of the Spine - Experimentation and Simulation
Low back pain (LBP) is associated with altered neuromuscular control of the trunk, as well as impaired performance during functional tasks highly dependent upon trunk neuromuscular control. Comparing measurements between individuals with and without LBP does not distinguish whether the LBP …

Influence of gender and obesity on motor performance, neuromuscular control and endurance in older adults
… been reported to suffer from physiological and neuromuscular declines in several systems including skeletal muscles, central nervous system, cardiovascular processes and respiratory function. These age-related changes are often reflected through impairments in functional performance of …

Development of a Novel Intervention Guided by Neuromuscular Control Principles for Upper Extremity Neurorehabilitation after Stroke
… which negatively affects individualized joint control. This lack of individualized coordination is one of the fundamental motor control problems that explain voluntary movement impairment post-stroke. In recent years, the concept of muscle synergy, here defined as a consistent ratio of …

Alterations and Asymmetries in Trunk Mechanics and Neuromuscular Control among Persons with Lower-Limb Amputation: Exploring Potential Pathways of Low Back Pain
… influenced by trunk passive properties and neuromuscular control, and alterations in these behaviors are associated with abnormal mechanics of the spinal column and an increased LBP risk. However, there is limited evidence regarding whether prolonged repeated exposures to abnormal gait and …

Sleep Apnea Equipment’s for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
… alterations and disturbances in upper airway neuromuscular control, plays key roles in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea. It can increase pharyngeal collapsibility through mechanical effects on pharyngeal soft tissues and lung volume and through central nervous system–acting …

Role of Intrinsic and Reflexive Dynamics in the Control of Spinal Stability
Spinal stability describes the ability of the neuromuscular system to maintain equilibrium in the presence of kinematic and control variability, and may play an important role in the etiology of low-back disorders (LBDs). The primary mechanism for the neuromuscular control of spinal stability is …

Influence of Vibratory Plantar Stimulation on Cortical Motor Planning and Spatiotemporal Step Parameters
Walking relies on coordinated neuromuscular control, proactive motor planning, and continuous integration of sensory feedback. The premotor cortex (PMC) supports movement preparation, while plantar mechanoreceptors provide essential input for anticipatory postural adjustments and gait initiation. …

Temporal and spatial muscle synergy features and its neural origins during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit tasks
… people with neurological disorders that lack neuromuscular control lose the ability to perform the transition tasks normally. Several muscles act together to achieve these motions and the inability to perform these daily life tasks, therefore, present the need to understand why they are …

Exploring the Effects of a Non-mechanical Knee Brace on Lower Limb Kinematics & Kinetics in Healthy Individuals & its Implications for Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Knee
… braces can be unattractive to patients. Controlling symptomology by altering neuromuscular control with the use of non-mechanical (proprioceptive) knee braces could improve the treatment of OA. Aim: to examine the effect of a proprioceptive knee brace on lower limb kinematics and kinetics …

Towards Perturbation-free Identification of Human Standing Balance
… in the field, we do not yet fully understand the neuromuscular control of balance. A method to estimate natural, unperturbed standing balance dynamics would provide a necessary tool to examine the apparent control mechanisms employed by healthy individuals, and lead to insight and inspiration for …

The Effect of Biofeedback on Eccentric Knee Joint Power, Limb Stiffness, and Limb Stiffness Symmetry in ACLR Patients During Bilateral Landing
… from muscle atrophy and asymmetrical neuromuscular control post-ACLR, putting them at a higher risk of re-injury. Thus, rehabilitation following ACLR is important to improve kinetic and kinematic outcomes and reduce re-injury risk. Biofeedback during rehabilitation is thought to be one …

Inverse dynamic modeling for characterization of spasticity
… framework to explain disabled and non-disabled neuromuscular control, it has been demonstrated that the equilibrium point of the passive knee is dynamic and exhibits a pseudo-exponential trajectory in spasticity that is different from the non-spastic case. In non-spastic subjects, this research …

Effects of Yoga on Low Back Stability, Strength and Endurance
… and side laterals). METHODS: A pretest posttest control group experimental design was used. Sixteen participants, 10 females and 6 males, without a history of low back pain, and no prior experience of Yoga, were recruited. Yoga participants were recruited following registration in a yoga class; …

Prolonged Lumbar Flexion Disturbs Paraspinal Reflex Behavior
The neuromuscular response to prolonged lumbar flexion has recently been extensively studied in felines but has not been examined in humans. Animal studies suggest that prolonged lumbar flexion disturbs neuromuscular control of paraspinal muscles. This disturbance was linked to creep deformation of …

Using sEMG to investigate muscle activation during a graded exercise test while sustaining SRC
… phase of injury. While SRCs are known to disrupt neuromuscular function and increase the risk of lower extremity (LE) injuries, limited research has explored the impact of SRCs on muscle activation patterns during exercise. This study aimed to investigate differences in normalized LE muscle …
