In the last few decades, individuals with mobility issues have seen a flurry of advancements in neuroprosthetic devices, artificial systems that seek to replace a particular sensation or lost ability.

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

Standing strength exercises after 50 that build muscle without weights, from CSCS Jarrod Nobbe. Get the 5-move routine and ...

MIT researchers have developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Instead of using electricity to stimulate muscles, they used light. Here, Guillermo Herrera-Arcos ...

Muscle synergies represent coordinated activation patterns of groups of muscles that simplify the control of complex movements. This concept suggests that the central nervous system reduces the ...

Walking represents one of humanity’s most fundamental movements, yet its potential for muscle development remains surprisingly underappreciated. While often relegated to the category of light cardio ...

Ataxia is the loss of muscle control in your arms and legs. Ataxia may cause you to lose your balance and walk with an unsteady gait. You may feel dizzy, clumsy, or unable to coordinate and control ...

A project at MIT has investigated whether optogenetics could be a better way to drive muscle contraction in clinical treatments than traditional electrical stimulation. Published in Science Robotics, ...
