The development of more effective rehabilitative interventions requires a better
understanding of how humans learn and transfer motor skills in real-world contexts …

Rehabilitation of human motor function is an issue of growing significance, and human-
interactive robots offer promising potential to meet the need. For the lower extremity …

Neurological disorders and aging induce impaired gait kinematics. Despite recent
advances, effective methods using lower-limb exoskeleton robots to restore gait kinematics …

This book aims at gathering roboticists, control theorists, neuroscientists, and
mathematicians, in order to promote a multidisciplinary research on movement analysis. It …

Gait control challenges commonly coincide with vestibular dysfunction and there is a long
history in using balance and gait activities to enhance functional mobility in this population …

Maintaining balance while walking on a narrow beam is a challenging motor task. One
important factor is that the foot's ability to exert torque on the support surface is limited by the …

It is well documented that variability in motor performance decreases with practice, yet the
neural and computational mechanisms that underlie this decline, particularly during long …

Many studies using cognitive tasks have found that stereotype threat, or concern about
confirming a negative stereotype about one's group, debilitates performance. The few …

This study examined how humans spontaneously merge a sequence of discrete actions into
a rhythmic pattern, even when periodicity is not required. Two experiments used a virtual …

How do humans control their actions and interactions with the physical world? How do we
learn to throw a ball or drink a glass of wine without spilling? Compared to robots human …
