Journal ArticleDOI

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of motor cortex after stroke: a focused review.

Manuela Corti, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that rTMS applied to the AH is a safe technique and could be considered an effective approach for modulating brain function and contributing to motor recovery after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Effects of Light or Heavy Resistance Power Training for Improving Lower Extremity Power and Physical Performance in Mobility-Limited Older Adults

Kieran F. Reid, +8 more
- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: High velocity resistance training with low external resistance yields similar improvements in muscle power and physical performance compared to training with high external resistance in mobility-limited elders, which may have important implications for optimizing exercise interventions for older adults with mobility limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuromuscular determinants of maximum walking speed in well-functioning older adults

David J. Clark, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: The conclusion that maximum walking speed is limited by impaired neuromuscular force and activation of the triceps surae muscle group is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle Performance and Physical Function Are Associated With Voluntary Rate of Neuromuscular Activation in Older Adults

David J. Clark, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: Slowing of neuromuscular activation rate is associated with compromised dynamic muscle performance, which may contribute to mobility limitations in some older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle power failure in mobility-limited older adults: preserved single fiber function despite lower whole muscle size, quality and rate of neuromuscular activation

Kieran F. Reid, +13 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The dissociation between age-related changes at the whole muscle and single fiber level suggest that, even among older adults with overt mobility problems, contractile properties of surviving muscle fibers are preserved in an attempt to maintain overall muscle function.
