The participant attended up to three sessions weekly for 15 months after implantation to use the neural bypass system (NBS). In each session, he was trained to utilize his motor cortical neuronal ...

The muscular system consists of various types of muscle that each play a crucial role in the function of the body. Some muscular system functions include mobility, stability, posture, and circulation.

The University of Tokyo has developed realistic muscle tissue for robots that can mimic human-like muscle movement. Robots have been receiving several upgrades in recent years in light of ...

One of the major scientific questions about the brain is how it can translate the simple intent to perform an action—say, reach for a glass—into the dynamic, coordinated symphony of muscle movements ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

The trapezius, trapezoid, or traps muscle is a muscle in the upper back. It stabilizes the shoulders and enables the neck to move. Certain stretches can help ease pain and keep movement flexible. The ...

Human movement is reciprocal in nature: Opposing muscle groups must coordinate for proper movement. Muscle length and strength between opposing muscle groups need to be in balance for normal movement ...

Zoologists have gained new insights into the motor function of limbs of different sizes. Zoologists have gained new insights into the motor function of limbs of different sizes. Long, heavy limbs such ...
