Neural determinants explaining the asymmetrical force and skill observed in limb dominance still need to be comprehensively investigated. To address this gap, we recorded myoelectrical activity from biceps brachii using high-density surface electromyography in twenty participants, identifying the maximal voluntary force (MVF) and performing isometric ramp contractions at 35% and 70%MVF and sustained contractions at 10%MVF. Motor unit discharge characteristics were assessed during ramp contractions, the proportion of common synaptic input to motoneurons was calculated with coherence analysis, and the firing rate hysteresis (∆F) was used to estimate spinal motoneuron intrinsic properties.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the amount of displacement of the Center of Pressure (CoP) during movement of the affected limb in children with Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy (NBPP) and to compare it with the unaffected side.

Method: Forty-six children (6.63 ± 1.

Background: Stroke-induced gait impairments often result in asymmetrical trunk alignment, affecting mobility and quality of life of patients. This randomized, single-blind clinical trial investigated the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training in addressing this issue and explored its impact on lower limb functions.

Methods: Fifty patients with chronic stroke were included in this study, with one group receiving traditional rehabilitation therapy and the other receiving additional robot-assisted gait training session.

Arm cycling has been proven to be an effective exercise for stroke rehabilitation. It strengthens the upper body, improves arm control, and can aid in restoring walking abilities. Promoting the engagement of the paretic arm is crucial, and tailoring the load to accommodate the limitations of the paretic side is a practical approach to encourage the safe use of this arm.
