Youth athletes are ideal candidates for novel therapeutic motor learning interventions that
leverage the plasticity of the central nervous system to promote desirable biomechanical …

Background Although people with aphasia (PwA) represent 30% of stroke survivors, they
are frequently excluded from stroke research, or their inclusion is unclear. Such practice …

Older adults rely increasingly on conscious processes to control balance. While this could
be in response to age-related declines in balance capacity, it is unclear whether such …

Sensorimotor deficits following stroke often result in loss of independence and are a leading
cause of long-term disability. 1, 2 These impairments can include weakness, spasticity, and …

Research has shown that external relative to internal focus (IF) instructions may improve
motor performance as well as cognitive function (eg, attentional stability and task‐focus) …

Objective (s) To describe a) how motor learning principles are applied during post stroke
physiotherapy, with a focus on lower limb rehabilitation; and b) the context in which these …

Research highlights the detrimental effect that directing too much conscious attention toward
movement can have on postural control. While this concept has received support from many …

Questions What are the degree and pattern of dual-task interference during walking in
people after stroke? How do these vary with disease chronicity and different component …

Objective Clinicians may use implicit or explicit motor learning approaches to facilitate motor
learning of patients with stroke. Implicit motor learning approaches have shown promising …

Objectives: To investigate immediate changes in walking performance associated with three
implicit motor learning strategies and to explore patient experiences of each strategy …
