From industrial exoskeletons to implantable medical devices, robots that interact closely with
people are poised to improve every aspect of our lives. Yet designing these systems is very …

Although psychology is the science of mental life and behavior, little attention has been paid
to the means by which mental life is translated into behavior. One domain in which links …

Human locomotor adaptation is necessary to maintain flexibility of walking. Several lines of
research suggest that the cerebellum plays a critical role in motor adaptation. In this study …

Stable and efficient locomotion requires the precise coordination of movement across the
limbs and body. Learned changes in interlimb coordination can be induced by exposure to a …

A compact description of coordinated muscle activity is provided by the factorization of
electromyographic (EMG) signals. With the use of this approach, it has consistently been …

Detailed descriptions of gait impairments have been reported in cerebral palsy (CP), but it is
still unclear how maturation of the spinal motoneuron output is affected. Spatiotemporal …

Several studies have demonstrated how cerebellar ataxia (CA) affects gait, resulting in
deficits in multijoint coordination and stability. Nevertheless, how lesions of cerebellum …

It is known in the literature that fundamental motor skill acquisition is strongly associated with
the development of neuromotor, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects in childhood …

Neural control of locomotion in human adults involves the generation of a small set of basic
patterned commands directed to the leg muscles. The commands are generated …

Background. Step asymmetries during gait in persons after stroke can occur in temporal or
spatial domains. Prior studies have shown that split-belt locomotor adaptation can …
