Who is the author of paper 7

Agostina Casamento-Moran

What was finding of “Motor plan differs for young and older adults during similar movements”

finding suggests that although subjects in both age groups displayed similar movement end points, they exhibited a different motor plan, as demonstrated by altered coordination between the agonist and antagonist muscles.

Who was primary author of ‘“Timing variability and not force variability predicts the endpoint accuracy of fast and slow isometric contractions”

Brach Poston

What was Brach Potons finding in his study “Timing variability and not force variability predicts the endpoint accuracy of fast and slow isometric contractions”

findings indicate that endpoint error in tasks that require force and timing accuracy is minimized by controlling timing variability but not force variability, and that endpoint error is not related to the amplitude of the activation signal

Who was author of paper 9 “Motor planning perturbation: muscle activation and reaction time”

Stefan Delmas

What was Stefan Delmas’s Findings in “Motor planning perturbation: muscle activation and reaction time”

provide evidence that motor planning perturbation slows the response and alters the voluntary activity of the muscle.

Who was author of paper 10 “Neuromuscular variability and spatial accuracy in children and older adults”

Agostina Casamento-Moran

What was the finding in Agostinas paper “Neuromuscular variability and spatial accuracy in children and older adults”

Results suggest that an immature neuromuscular system, compared to an aged one, affects the generation and refinement of the motor plan which increases the variability in the neural drive to the muscle and reduces spatial accuracy in children

Who was author of paper 11 “H-Reflex Recovery Curves Differentiate Essential Tremor, Parkinson’s Disease, and the Combination of Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease”

Mohamed Shabbahi

What was the findings in Mohamed Shabbahis paper H-Reflex Recovery Curves Differentiate Essential Tremor, Parkinson’s Disease, and the Combination of Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease

The results of this study suggest that patients with PD, ET, and ETPD may have different underlying neurologic mechanisms that cause each condition.

Who was primary author in paper 12 “Enhancing Neurorehabilitation by targeting beneficial plasticity“

Jonathan Wolpaw

What was wolpaws finding in his paper

Initial studies in people with spinal cord injury, stroke, or multiple sclerosis show that these interventions can enhance skill recovery beyond that achieved by skill-specific practice alone. After treatment ends, the repaired heksors maintain the benefit

Who was primary author of paper 13”Mechanisms for the increased fatigability of the lower limb in people with type 2 diabetes”

Jonathon Senefled

What was Jonathon Senefleds findings in his paper “Mechanisms for the increased fatigability of the lower limb in people with type 2 diabetes”

Men and women with T2D who exhibited no clinical signs of diabetic polyneuropathy were more fatigable during and in recovery from a high-velocity dynamic fatiguing task with the knee extensor muscles than controls without diabetes who were matched for age, body mass index, and physical activity.

Who was primary author in paper 14 “Age difference dynamic fatigability and variability of arm and leg muscles: associations with physical functions”

Jonathon Senefled

In Senefleds paper ““Age difference dynamic fatigability and variability of arm and leg muscles: associations with physical functions” What were his findings

Old adults had greater fatigue-related reductions in peak velocity compared with young adults for both the elbow flexor and knee extensor muscles ( P<0.05) with no sex differences (P>0.05). Old adults had greater variability of peak velocity during the knee extensor, but not during the elbow flexor fatiguing task

Who is Primary author of “Voluntary reduction of force variability via modulation

of low‑frequency oscillations“

Seoung Hoon Park

What was Parks finding in his paper Voluntary reduction of force variability via modulation

of low‑frequency oscillations

voluntary reduction of force variability is associated with decreased low frequency oscillations in EMG bursts and consequently force output. Providing evidence that visual guidance allows healthy young adults to reduce force variability likely by adjusting the low frequency oscillations in the neural drive.

Who was primary author of paper 16 “Trial by trial feedback fails to improve the consideration of acceleration in visual time to collision estimation”

Marlene Wessels

What were the results of Wessels paper “Trial by trial feedback fails to improve the consideration of acceleration in visual time to collision estimation”

Results suggest that a safety training program based on trial-by-trial feedback is not a promising countermeasure against pedestrians’ erroneous TTC estimation for accelerating objects

Who was primary author in Paper 17 '‘The efficacy of periodized resistance training on neuromuscular adaption in older adults”

Jenny Conlon

What was Jenny Conlons results in her paper The efficacy of periodized resistance training on neuromuscular adaption in older adults

Periodised resistance training, specifically BP and DUP, and NP resistance training are equally effective for promoting increases in muscular hypertrophy, strength, and power among untrained older adults. Consequently, periodisation strategies are not essential for optimising neu- romuscular adaptations during the initial stages of resist- ance training in the aging population.

Who was primary author of paper 18 “Sex difference in arm muscle fatigability with cognitive demand in older adults”

Hugo M Pereira

What was Hugos finding in his paper “Sex difference in arm muscle fatigability with cognitive demand in older adults”

Older men were taller and heavier than the older women, but otherwise the sexes did not differ in age, physical activity levels, handedness, or cognitive function involving executive function and working memory (

Who was primary author in paper 19 “Temporal Invariance in SCA6 is related to smaller cerebellar lobule VI and greater disease severity”

Basma Yacoubi

What was the findings in Basmas paper “Temporal Invariance in SCA6 is related to smaller cerebellar lobule VI and greater disease severity””

New evidence that a subset of SCA6 with greater loss of GM in cerebellum lobule VI exhibit temporal invariance and more severe ataxia than other SCA6

individuals

Who was primary author in paper 20 “Suppression of Axial Tremor by Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Essential Tremor: Effects on Gait and Balance Measures

Yoon JIn Choi

What were the findings in Yoons JIn Chois paper “Suppression of Axial Tremor by Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Essential Tremor: Effects on Gait and Balance Measures”

With DBS OFF, ET DBS exhibited significantly greater stride length variability, sway path length, and tremor during gait and balance task relative to HC. Relative to DBS OFF, DBS ON reduced stride length variability and sway path length in ET DBS. The DBS-induced reduction in stride length variability was associated with the reduction in both upper trunk tremor and upper limb tremor. The DBS-induced reduction in sway path length was associated with the reduction in upper trunk tremorWho

Who was primary author of Paper 21 “Altered activation of the antagonist muscle during practice comprises motor learning in older adults”

Yen-Ting Chen

In Yen Thing Chens paper “Altered activation of the antagonist muscle during practice comprises motor learning in older adults” what were his findings

results provide novel evidence that the deficient motor learning in older adults may be related to a differential activation of the antagonist muscle, which compromises their ability to acquire the task during practice.

Who was primary author in paper 22 “Reward boosts reinforcement-based motor learning

Pierre Vassiliadis

What were the findings in Pierres paper “Reward boosts reinforcement-based motor learning”

propose that the long-lasting effects of motivation on motor learning may entail a form of associative learning resulting from the repetitive pairing of the reinforcement feedback and reward during training, a mechanism that may be exploited in future rehabilitation protocols.

Who was primary author in Paper 4 “Differential Motor unit changes after endurance or high intensity interval training”

Eduardo Martinez Valdes

In the paper “Differential Motor unit changes after endurance or high intensity interval training” what were the findings

HIIT and END induce different adjustments in MU discharge rate despite similar improvements in cardiopulmonary fitness. Moreover, the changes induced by HIIT are specific for high-threshold MU. For the first time, show that HIIT and END induce specific neuromuscular adaptations, possibly related to differences in exercise load intensity and training volume.
