Passive ankle exoskeleton assistance selectively modulates triceps surae neural control during balance

Wearable assistive devices have potential to improve human balance, but their effectiveness remains limited by an incomplete understanding of how mechanical assistance influences neuromuscular control. This study aimed to determine the neural adaptations in the control of lower l...

Probabilistic inference of homonymous and heteronymous recurrent inhibition in human muscles from large-scale motor neuron recordings

Understanding how spinal circuits shape motor neuron behavior during muscle contractions remains a major challenge. Here, we combined large-scale motor unit recordings with simulation-based inference to generate probabilistic estimates of homonymous and heteronymous recurrent inh...

The Relationship Between Physical Fitness and Physical Literacy: Empirical Evidence Linking Two Physical Activity-Health Concepts

Research on promoting physical activity (PA) primarily revolves around two key concepts: physical fitness (PF), defined as a set of measurable physical capacities (strength, speed, endurance and coordination), and physical literacy (PL), a multidimensional construct encompassing...

Biological reconstruction in the growing child after tumour resection: long-term outcomes of vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer

Abstract Purpose Paediatric limb-salvage surgery after tumour resection is challenging because reconstruction must account for small skeletal dimensions, immature bone, and residual growth. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical, radiological, functional, and oncolog...

Effects of home-based videoconference adapted physical activity on healthy aging

Abstract Aging induces muscle weakness and power decline in older adults, increasing the risk of falls. Adapted physical activity (APA) programs are effective in mitigating these declines. Recent innovations, including videoconferencing, offer alternative delivery modes, but thei...
