The movement involved in swinging a tennis racket is one of the most complex in biomechanics. A standard overhead serve has eight different stages and engages 15 muscles at different rates, each ...

Scientists have developed a new method to simulate the complex movements of animals with exceptional accuracy. The research team set out to solve a long-standing challenge in biology -- how to ...

Moshé Feldenkrais was born in Ukraine in 1904, then part of the Russian Empire. Three major influences shaped the life of Feldenkrais: soccer, judo, and his studies in physics. His soccer career ended ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement-they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

In the evolving landscape of pain management and rehabilitation, neuromuscular retraining has emerged as a paradigm-shifting approach that addresses the underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain ...

SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...

John Famechon was the former featherweight boxing champion of the world. He won the title in London in 1969. John suffered an incapacitating brain injury in August 1991 when a car, estimated to be ...

The connection between physical movement and brain function has emerged as one of neuroscience’s most significant discoveries. The human brain, despite representing only 2% of body weight, consumes ...

Millions of people struggle with lower back pain worldwide. Now, surprising new research from the University of South Australia shows that relearning 'baby' movements such as crawling, rolling and ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...
