Introduction: Aging leads to alterations not only within the complex subsystems of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, but also in the coupling between them. Here, we studied how aging affects functional reorganizations that occur both within and between the behavioral and muscular levels, which must be coordinated to produce goal-directed movements. Using unimanual reciprocal Fitts' task, we ex...

Within the field on biomedical engineering, the majority of compression research has focused on encoding medical images, electrocardiograms, and electroencephalograms. Although long-term myoelectric signal (MES) acquisition is important for neuro-muscular system analysis and telemedicine applications, very few studies have been published on MES compression. This research investigates static and...

Background: Myopathies are a group of neuro muscular diseases that cause muscle weakness, cramps, and spasms due to primary defect the fiber. We undertook this study hereditary disorders identify clinical patterns laboratory findings in these conditions correlation between them, which will help recognizing them early for adequate management with rehabilitation measures prognostication. Aim: To ...

Hurst (1915) coined the word achalasia, i.e. absence of relaxation, to describe a neuro-muscular incoordination in the alimentary tract. Previously, Rolleston (1896) had suggested such an incoordination to explain some cases of dilatation of the oesophagus. The condition was then known as cardiospasm, a word introduced in 1882 by Mikulicz (1904). Earlier it was known as simple or idiopathic dil...
