Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) are wearable robots designed to enhance the
sensorimotor abilities of humans. SRLs can be used to compensate for lost functions in …

Background: Hand trauma requires specific rehabilitation protocol depending on the
different structures involved. According to type of surgical intervention, and for monitoring …

This study aimed at determining whether the combination of action observation and motor
imagery (AO+ MI) of locomotor tasks could positively affect rehabilitation outcome after hip …

Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, ie the peripersonal
space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are …

The peripersonal space is an adaptive and flexible interface between the body and the
environment that fulfills a dual-motor function: preparing the body for voluntary object …

Limb immobilization and nonuse are well-known causes of corticomotor depression. While
physical training can drive the recovery from nonuse-dependent corticomotor effects, it …

Background In sports, the risk of pathology or event that leads to an injury, a cessation of
practice or even to an immobilization is high. The subsequent reduction of physical activity …

Short-term upper limb disuse induces a hemispheric unbalance between the primary motor
cortices (M1s). However, it is still unclear whether these changes are mainly attributable to …

Motor learning via physical practice leads to long-term potentiation (LTP)-like plasticity in
motor cortex (M1) and temporary occlusion of additional LTP-like plasticity. Motor learning …

Prolonged bed rest causes a multitude of deleterious physiological changes in the human
body that require interventions even during immobilization to prevent or minimize these …
