Abstract During action observation, several visual features of observed actions can modulate the level sensorimotor reactivity in onlooker. Among possibly relevant parameters, one less investigated humans is perspective from which are observed. In present EEG study, we assessed alpha and beta mu rhythm subcomponents to four different perspectives, defined by position observer relative moving agent (identifying first-person, third-person lateral viewpoints) anatomical compatibility effectors...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is common in athletic individuals and often leads to physical impairments, a low rate of return performance, reinjuries, sometimes reductions career length [...]
Primary cervical dystonia (PCD), or spasmodic torticollis, is a focal characterized by involuntary and often painful muscle contractions, leading to abnormal movements postures. While botulinum toxin injections are the first-line treatment, additional therapies, such as segmental vibration (SMV), remain underexplored. SMV, non-invasive neuromodulation technique, may enhance motor cortex excitability promote neuroplasticity, offering potential benefits in PCD management. This single-center...
In recent decades, extensive attention has been paid to the study and development of robotic devices specifically designed for hand rehabilitation. Accordingly, a many concepts concerning rigid, soft, hybrid types have emerged in literature, with significant ongoing activity being directed towards new solutions. this context, paper focuses on technical features conceived rehabilitation reference three kinds exoskeleton architecture clinical requirements demanded by target impairment...
This single arm pre-post study aimed at evaluating the acute effects induced by a session of robot-assisted passive hand mobilization on local perfusion and upper limb (UL) function in poststroke hemiparetic participants. Twenty-three patients with subacute or chronic stroke received 20 min paretic robotic assistance. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to detect changes forearm tissue perfusion. Muscle tone UL assessed Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Symptoms concerning heaviness,...
The aim of the study was to evaluate, by an electromyographic (EMG) and mechanomyographic (MMG) combined approach, whether years specific climbing activity induced neuromuscular changes towards performances related a functional prevalence fast resistant or fatigable motor units. For this purpose, after maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) assessment, 11 elite climbers 10 controls performed exhaustive handgrip isometric effort at 80% MVC. Force, EMG MMG signals were recorded from finger flexor...
Robotic devices can be a viable solution in different rehabilitation activities for increasing patients' gains, providing high-frequent, repetitive and interactive treatments. In this paper, the design, development preliminary characterization of robotic system assisted hand rehabilitation, driven by surface EMG measurements, based on mirroring healthy movements is presented. The opening closing detected muscular activity used to guide glove moving paretic hand. innovative aspects research...
