DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1124773
Abstract: Balance recovery often relies on successful stepping responses, which presumably require precise and rapid interactions between the cerebral cortex and the leg muscles. Yet, little is known about how cortico-muscular coupling (CMC) supports the execution… read more here.

DOI: 10.4085/1062-6050-0019.21
Abstract: CONTEXT The single leg squat (SLS) is appropriate for targeting activation, strengthening, and/or neuromuscular retraining of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and quadriceps. However, the effect of different non-stance leg positions on muscle activity has… read more here.
