Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, with approximately
795,000 people experiencing a new or recurrent stroke each year. 1 A primary concern of …

The current view of motor learning suggests that when we revisit a task, the brain recalls the
motor commands it previously learned. In this view, motor memory is a memory of motor …

Human locomotor adaptation is necessary to maintain flexibility of walking. Several lines of
research suggest that the cerebellum plays a critical role in motor adaptation. In this study …

The motor system demonstrates an exquisite ability to adapt to changes in the environment
and to quickly reset when these changes prove transient. If similar environmental changes …

Stable and efficient locomotion requires the precise coordination of movement across the
limbs and body. Learned changes in interlimb coordination can be induced by exposure to a …

During extended motor adaptation, learning appears to saturate despite persistence of
residual errors. This adaptation limit is not fixed but varies with perturbation variance; when …

The human motor system can rapidly adapt its motor output in response to errors. The
prevailing theory of this process posits that the motor system adapts an internal forward …

Background Virtual reality (VR) is a potentially promising tool for enhancing real-world
locomotion in individuals with mobility impairment through its ability to provide personalized …

Background The motor system has the remarkable ability not only to learn but also to learn
how fast it should learn. However, the mechanisms behind this ability are not well …
