Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an
external rhythm, ranging from finger tap** in time with a metronome to musical ensemble …

The use of rhythmic auditory cueing to enhance gait performance in parkinsonian patients' is
an emerging area of interest. Different theories and underlying neurophysiological …

Distinct gait characteristics like short steps and shuffling gait are prototypical signs
commonly observed in Parkinson's disease. Routinely assessed by observation through …

Fields studying movement generation, including robotics, psychology, cognitive science,

adults: a 1-year prospective study. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2001; 82: 1050-6. Objective: To …

According to classical concepts of physiologic control, healthy systems are self-regulated to
reduce variability and maintain physiologic constancy. Contrary to the predictions of …

There is evidence that physiological signals under healthy conditions may have a fractal
temporal structure. Here we investigate the possibility that time series generated by certain …

A defining but elusive feature of physiologic systems is their daunting complexity. This
complexity arises from the interaction of a myriad of structural units and regulatory feedback …

The study of gait variability, the stride-to-stride fluctuations in walking, offers a
complementary way of quantifying locomotion and its changes with aging and disease as …
