Reduced corticospinal excitability at rest is associated with post-stroke fatigue (PSF). However, it not known if prior to a movement also altered in which may then influence subsequent behaviour. We hypothesized that the levels of PSF can be explained by differences modulation during preparation. 73 stroke survivors performed an auditory reaction time task. Corticospinal was measured using tra...

OBJECTIVES We recently showed that diminished motor cortical excitability is associated with high levels of post-stroke fatigue. Motor cortex excitability impacts movement parameters such as reaction and movement times. We predicted that one or both would be influenced by the presence of post-stroke fatigue. METHODS 41 first-time stroke survivors (high fatigue n=21, Fatigue Severity Scale 7 (...

background: myofascial pain syndrome is a significant source of mechanical pain. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of arm movement on reaction time in females with latent and active upper trapezius myofascial trigger point. methods: in this interventional study, a convenience sample of fifteen women with one active mtp, fifteen women with one latent mtp in the upper trapezius...

In this paper, I explore how environmental movements and lifestyles, like all forms of human action, produce their own characteristic kinds of time. During this exploration, I introduce a number of concepts which I suggest are useful in understanding these temporalities—chronological and kairological time; linear and cyclic time; segmentation and plot; orientation and synchronisation. Whereas t...
