A blended experimental and computational approach to study the relation between neuro-musculoskeletal impairments and movement. KU Leuven
Aging as well as neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy and stroke lead to multi-level changes in the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Both motor control (muscle coordination) as musculoskeletal structures and functions (e.g. muscle weakness, joint contractures) are altered. Given the many simultaneous changes, it has been hard to identify cause-effect relationships between alterations in the neuro-musculoskeletal system and alterations ...
