Description:: Before initiating a walking movement, the central nervous system forms a motor plan, a set of motor commands predicted to accomplish task-specific goals. To be effective, motor plans must be continually updated to consider an ever-changing external environment. Despite being an inherent part of walking, how the nervous system adapts...

Description:: Humans have a remarkable ability to create stable walking patterns that can resist and recover from perturbations. Unfortunately, this ability is substantially impaired after a stroke, limiting mobility and contributing to a high fall rate. To facilitate gait training during post-stroke rehabilitation, clinicians often incorporate body-weight support (BWS) systems that...

Description:: Visual information plays a critical role in controlling movement. People use visual information to plan future actions and correct current actions through feedforward and feedback processes, respectively. We can gain insights into these visually guided motor control processes by quantifying where people look during movement and measuring how much they...
