Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1 in 8,000 people. While it is well known for causing muscle weakness and stiffness, DM1 also ...

Objective: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of motor imagery training (MIT) in enhancing maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force among healthy older adults and inducing neural ...

Background: Severe upper-limb motor paralysis following chronic stroke presents a significant rehabilitation challenge, often with limited recovery. This case study explores the effects of repetitive ...

MICKLETON, N.J. (WPVI) -- Nearly everyone gets a muscle cramp from time to time. When muscle contractions won't stop and can't be controlled, that's called dystonia. A South Jersey man is now sharing ...

Using powerful new visualization technologies, researchers have captured the first 3-D images of the structure of a key muscle receptor, providing new insights on how muscles develop across the animal ...

In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a method to stimulate multiple muscles in a human arm to perform interaction tasks, using an implanted Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) neuroprosthesis. The ...
