TLDR
The motor performance and Regional Brain Metabolism of Four Spontaneous Murine Mutations with Degeneration of the Cerebellar Cortex and changes in Finger Coordination and Hand Function with Advanced Age are studied.Abstract:
Motor control is concerned with the processes that allow the central nervous system to interact with the world. How we learn to control movement is central to our understanding of all human behavior.

The role of executive function and attention in gait
Galit Yogev-Seligmann,Galit Yogev-Seligmann,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Nir Giladi,Nir Giladi +6 more
TL;DR: The variety of gait disorders that may be associated with different aspects of executive function, and the changes occurring in executive function as a result of aging and disease as well the potential impact of these changes on gait are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor learning: its relevance to stroke recovery and neurorehabilitation.
TL;DR: This review will focus on arm movements and address the following questions: What is motor learning, do patients with hemiparesis have a learning deficit, and are approaches based on motor learning principles useful for rehabilitation?
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual tasking, gait rhythmicity, and Parkinson's disease: which aspects of gait are attention demanding?
Galit Yogev,Nir Giladi,Nir Giladi,Chava Peretz,Chava Peretz,Shmuel Springer,Ely S. Simon,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that regulation of gait variability and rhythmicity is apparently an automatic process that does not demand attention in healthy adults, however, in patients with PD this ability becomes attention‐demanding and worsens when subjects perform secondary tasks.

The ecological dynamics of decision making in sport
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that decision-making behavior is best considered at the level of the performer-environment relationship and viewed as emerging from the interactions of individuals with environmental constraints over time towards specific functional goals.

Dynamic Movement Primitives -A Framework for Motor Control in Humans and Humanoid Robotics
TL;DR: The Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) as discussed by the authors are units of action that are formalized as stable nonlinear attractor systems, which are useful for autonomous robotics as they are highly flexible in creating complex rhythmic (e.g., locomotion) and discrete (i.e., a tennis swing) behaviors that can quickly adapt to the inevitable perturbations of a dynamically changing, stochastic environment.

Forward modeling allows feedback control for fast reaching movements
TL;DR: The ability of the motor system to estimate the future state of the limb might be an evolutionary substrate for mental operations that require an estimate of sequelae in the immediate future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspectives and problems in motor learning
TL;DR: The need for motor learning, what is learned and how it is represented, and the mechanisms of learning are explored, relating these computational issues to empirical studies on motor learning in humans.

Speed/accuracy trade-offs in target-directed movements.
Réjean Plamondon,Adel M. Alimi +1 more
TL;DR: A critical survey of the scientific literature dealing with the speed/accuracy trade-offs in rapid-aimed movements highlights the numerous mathematical and theoretical interpretations that have been proposed in recent decades and summarizes the kinematic theory of rapid human movements proposed recently by R. Plamondon.
