Arm movements are disrupted by unmodulated stretch reflexes. We propose a spinal cord circuit that could be as good as and complement mechanisms mediated by the brain & cerebellum. This has implications to the emergence and treatment of movement disorders. valerolab.org/Papers/2024_ni…

Muscle redundancy is greatly reduced by the spatiotemporal nature of neuromuscular control! #Neuroscience #motorcontrol
Here is the latest study from ValeroLab to help understand #muscle redundancy and #neuromechanical control. Congratulations Brian Cohn! @uscbme @USCViterbi valerolab.org/Papers/Cohn_Va…

Synergy analysis is a standard approach to capture the dominant features of human movement (‘coarse synergies’). Here we demonstrate that the less dominant features (‘fine synergies’) reveal important adaptations and that they reflect differences in motor strategies.

Wonderful first day at the #NSF #DARE2023 conference, capped off by dinner in the historic LA Coliseum & an incredible unexpected drone show! ✨ Excited about the future of computational neurorehab!✨ Thank you @ValeroLab @jamesmfinley @neuroamyo & Kat Steele for organizing!

The NSF #DARE Conference's second pre-conference session is today at 11 AM PST! Kat Steele will be moderating a panel with Francisco Valero-Cuevas, Jen Hicks, & Friedl DeGroote to talk about the role of musculoskeletal modeling and simulation in neurorehabilitation.
