Undisturbed stance control in healthy adults is achieved differently along anteroposterior and mediolateral axes: evidence from visual feedback of various signals from center of pressure trajectories.(Report)
May 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. Provided through the screen of a monitor, the participant's resultant center of pressure ([CP.sub.Res]) movements from a force platform device, modified the postural performance of a healthy individual. However, these effects could largely vary with the axis that researchers ...
Contributions of cocontraction and eccentric activity to stiffness regulation.(Clinical report)
May 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. Individuals commonly adjust joint stiffness in response to changes in environmental and task demands. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of muscular cocontraction and eccentric activity to this adjustment. In all, 30 healthy volunteers ...
Evidence for continuous processing of visual information in a manual video-aiming task.(Report)
May 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. Research shows that individuals are able to correct for an experimentally-induced and unexpected aiming error (i.e., a cursor jump), even when they do not detect it consciously. Researchers have interpreted these results to be evidence of continuous processing of visual afferent ...
Neural correlate of the contextual interference effect in motor learning: a kinematic analysis.(Clinical report)
May 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. The contextual interference (CI) effect affirms that learning is enhanced when interference during practice is high, such as when participants practice multiple tasks in a random order. Previous research showed a distinct response in the cortical motor (CM) regions of ...
Age-related changes in the adaptability of neuromuscular output.(Report)
May 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. The aging process is associated with a general decline in biological function. One characteristic that researchers believe represents this diminished functioning of the aging neuromuscular system is increased physiological tremor. The present study is constructed to assess what ...
