Control of whole body balance in the frontal plane during human walking

TL;DR: A whole-body inverted pendulum model was used to investigate the control of balance and posture in the frontal plane during human walking and interactions between the supporting foot and hip musculature to permit variability in strategies used to maintain balance were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Definition and classification of hyperkinetic movements in childhood

TL;DR: The definition of dystonia, chorea, athetosis, myoclonus, tremor, tics, and stereotypies that arose from a consensus meeting in June 2008 of specialists from different clinical and basic science fields is described in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of anticipatory postural adjustments prior to stepping.

TL;DR: The subsequent increase in corticomotor excitability between the imperative stimulus and onset of the APA suggests that corticospinal pathways contribute to the voluntary initiation of the prepared APA-stepping sequence.
Book ChapterDOI

An integrated EMG/biomechanical model of upper body balance and posture during human gait.

TL;DR: An inverted pendulum model of upper body balance in both the plane of progression and the frontal plane, and a medical/lateral balance model of the total body are developed to understand the neural control of locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Motor cortex excitability following short trains of repetitive magnetic stimuli.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the after-effects of rTMS depend on its frequency, intensity and duration, consistent with a model in which inhibition and facilitation build up gradually during the course of a conditioning train.
