Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disabilities, such as hemiparesis, inability to walk
without assistance, and dependence of others in the activities of daily living. Motor function …

Finding an optimum for the cycling performance is not a trivial matter, since the literature
shows the presence of many controversial aspects. In order to quantify different levels of …

The aim of this study was to investigate the muscle coordination underlying pedaling in
untrained subjects by using the muscle synergies paradigm, and to connect it with the inter …

Recent studies have reported evidence that the motor system may rely on a modular
organization, even if this behavior has yet to be confirmed during motor adaptation. The aim …

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient transmission technique known as the
sleep/wake algorithm for a bicycle torque sensor node. This paper aims to highlight the trade …

This study aims at evaluating the neuromuscular adaptations occurring during submaximal
prolonged cycling tasks. In particular, we want to assess changes in surface …

This paper presents a new 3D instrumented crank prototype for characterization, analysis
and validation in race bikes. System characterization throws a maximum linearity error of …

This work documents the progress towards the implementation of an embedded solution for
muscular forces assessment during cycling activity. The core of the study is the adaptation to …

This study evaluates the consistency between the bicycle torque of the proposed system,
and a Schoberer Rad Messtechnik (SRM) system. The torque was measured while a trainer …

This paper documents the research towards the development of a system based on Artificial
Neural Networks to predict muscle force patterns of an athlete during cycling. Two …
