Neuromotor Mechanisms Involved in the Recovery from Local Muscular Fatigue
The phenomenon of over-recovery consists of a participant’s maximal force levels returning to values above initial levels. The present study examined the presence and causes of over-recovery following local muscular fatigue. Fourteen males completed two fatigue protocols consisting of maximal …

Associations Between Neuromotor and Neurocognitive Functioning in Adults with Schizotypal Personality Disorder
… Perry, Shafer, & Braff, 1999), and recently (4) neuromotor functioning (Neumann & Walker, 1999), similar to individuals with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Furthermore, recent research suggests a link between neuromotor and cognitive functioning in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) (Neumann …

The effect of nursing interventions on thermoregulation and neuromotor function in very low birthweight infants
… model designed for the primary prevention of neuromotor problems and temperature instability in VLBW infants. The theoretical framework was based on two bodies of knowledge thermoregulation and neuromotor development. A two phase study was used to test two hypotheses: (1) use of a cloth …

Unveiling the impact of neuromotor disorders on speech: a structured approach combining biomechanical fundamentals and statistical machine learning
… given the intricate interoperation between neuromotor activity, responsible for both planning and driving the system, and the production of the acoustic speech signal; by the study of speech, this relationship may be properly exploited and analysed, providing a non-invasive method for the …

The influence of two physical activity programs on bone and muscle health in youth with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor impairments.
… as cerebral palsy (CP) and other non-progressive neuromotor impairments (CP-like), physical activity is reduced, which can lead to poor bone health. This increases the risk of fractures and may lead to osteoporosis in adults with CP. This thesis examines bone health in children and youth with CP …

Role of Acetyl-L-Carnitine in Hepatic Encephalopathy
… of symptoms: impaired mental status and impaired neuromotor function. Impaired mental status is characterized by deterioration in mental status with psychomotor dysfunction, impaired memory, and increased reaction time, sensory abnormalities, poor concentration, disorientation and coma. Impaired …

Projection Methods for Order Reduction of Optimal Human Operator Models
… way. This formulation preserves the critical neuromotor dynamics and time delay characteristics of the human operator. The Optimal Projection (OP) synthesis technique is applied to a modified version of the OCM. Using OP synthesis allows one to determine operator models that minimize the …

Motor Learning Effects of Two Types of Stressors: Implications for Practice Specificity
… findings is that stress increases the amount of neuromotor noise in the system (Van Gemmert, 1997). Low levels of stress may have an activating effect on the system which may improve motor performance whereas larger levels of stress decrease motor performance. Research has also suggested that …

Maternal postnatal health and infant development
… outcomes (i.e., cognitive, language, neuromotor and social-emotional development) at 12- and 24-months postnatal follow-up. While a significant amount of research has been conducted in several of these research areas, there remains many gaps and no consensus has been reached. The lack …

Exploring Motor Learning Differences between Elite and Non-Elite Athletes Using Nonlinear Dynamical Analysis
… us the possibility to better explore underlying neuromotor effects that may still be present in elite athletes with prior concussion.

Voice onset time variation in stop consonant to vowel transitions
… a basis to encourage further research analyzing neuromotor and physiological articulatory control, which could lead to interventional treatment for individuals having dysarthria.

The isolation of syaptic myonuclei and Schwann cell nuclei for DNA analysis from human skeletal muscle
… nerve to muscle fibers. Cerebral palsy is a neuromotor disorder that has been characterized by deficits in the central nervous system and, more recently, disruptions in the peripheral nervous system at the neuromuscular junction. The specific mechanisms accounting for neuromuscular junction …

TeachBot : an education system workforce development
… challenging materials. Modern brain and neuromotor control research proves that effective learning takes place when the learner simultaneously interacts with and observes an embodiment of new knowledge. We apply these findings to teaching a variety of concepts, including the principle of …

Investigating the Influence of Upper Limb Movements on Lower Limb Neuroplasticity in Humans
… examined whether UL activity modulates LL neuromotor function through interlimb neural coupling. In healthy adults, a novel UL movement paradigm was found to alter spinal excitability, suggesting shared pathways for coordinated motor control. While no uniform group-level effects were …

Neurodevelopmental outcome of the high risk infant in Cape Town
… Dubowitz Neurological Assessment and the Infant Neuromotor Assessment were compared in terms of predicting neurodevelopmental outcome at one year of age. A cohort of 130 consecutive neonatal intensive care unit graduates were selected according to high risk criteria. Each infant was examined at …

Application of repertory grid technique to explore perceptions of expertise held by those working within the profession of conductive education
… approach to working with individuals with neuromotor disorders (Sutton,2002), is practised in Statutory and Third Sector health and education provisions within the UK. This fact alone raises the need to explore the role and professional accountability of the conductor as the professional …

Effect of Acute Administration of Angiopoietin-1 In Experimental Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Neurobehavioral Studies
… found to reduce BSCB permeability and improve neuromotor recovery. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI revealed a persistent compromise of the BSCB up to two months post-injury. In the subacute phase of injury, Ang1’s effect on reducing BSCB permeability was maintained and it was found to transiently …

From thoughts to actions: cracking the neural code across scales and modalities
… of patients suffering from neurological and neuromotor disorders. Despite progress, establishing robust mappings between neural activity and behavior remains an open challenge. To address this gap, this dissertation introduces methods that can be used to decode behavior from the macro- to the …

Bimanual cross-coupling in space telerobotics
… can cross-couple through not only inter-manual neuromotor pathways, when movement of one hand affects movement of the other hand, but also through intramanual pathways, when movement of one hand affects movement of the same hand in an unintended control axis. We developed a measurement technique …
