Background The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) protocol consists of 7 tests (Cook & Burton, 2014). At higher values mean higher quality of movement execution. Lower limb functional asymmetry (FA) is ...

Periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS) is a sleep disorder that involves repetitive and involuntary movements of the limbs. Periodic limb movements occur when the arms or legs move during sleep.

PLMD typically involves a twitching, jerking, or flexing of the limbs during sleep, most frequently during periods of light, non-REM sleep. These movements usually occur in the lower limbs ...

By applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to an unexpected region in the brain-;the lateral hypothalamus (LH)-;the team has improved the recovery of lower limb movements in two individuals with ...

Groundbreaking research, funded by an R21 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), recently published in the journal Neuroimage Clinical, demonstrates that multiple motor regions in the ...

Background The identification of risk factors for lower extremity musculoskeletal (MSK) injury in sport is required to inform primary and secondary injury prevention strategies. Objective To determine ...

"Using a musculoskeletal model coupled with an exoskeleton, we simulated the movements of the lower limb and trained the exoskeleton control system to achieve natural walking patterns using ...
