Proportional myoelectric control of a virtual object to investigate human efferent control
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
We used proportional myoelectric control of a one-dimensional virtual object to investigate differences in efferent control between the proximal and distal muscles of the upper limbs. Eleven subjects placed one of their ...

Background. We investigated hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) as a cause of endothelial dysfunction in obese humans. Methods. Thirty five healthy overweight (BMI = 33.6 ± 6.6 kg m −2) adults (33 ± 10 years ...
Deficits in peroneal latency and electromechanical delay in patients with functional ankle instability
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-12)
The purpose of this study was to compare alterations in peroneal latency and electromechanical delay (EMD) following an inversion perturbation during walking in patients with functional ankle instability (FAI) and with a ...
Resonant hopping of a robot controlled by an artificial neural oscillator
(2008)
"The bouncing gaits of terrestrial animals (hopping, running, trotting) can be modeled as a hybrid dynamic system, with spring-mass dynamics during stance and ballistic motion during the aerial phase. We used a simple ...
