Gait in SWEDDs patients: comparison with Parkinson's disease patients and healthy controlsOmar S Mian
Sobell Department of Motor Neuroscience and Movement Disorders, UCL Institute of Neurology, London, United Kingdom
Mov Disord 26:1266-73. 2011..These findings could aid the clinician in identification of potential tremulous SWEDDs cases. © 2011 Movement Disorder Society...- Lack of otolith involvement in balance responses evoked by mastoid electrical stimulationOmar S Mian
Sobell Department of Motor Neuroscience and Movement Disorders, University College London Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK
J Physiol 588:4441-51. 2010..We conclude that a net canal signal evoked by GVS contributes to the medium-latency response whilst a net otolith signal does not make a significant contribution to either the short- or medium-latency responses... - Determining the direction of vestibular-evoked balance responses using stochastic vestibular stimulationOmar S Mian
Sobell Department of Motor Neuroscience and Movement Disorders, University College London Institute of Neurology, 33 Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK
J Physiol 587:2869-73. 2009..Here we describe and validate a technique for determining the direction of SVS-evoked balance responses based on the correlation between a random waveform of stimulating current and ground-reaction shear force... - The impact of physical training on locomotor function in older peopleOmar S Mian
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK
Sports Med 37:683-701. 2007..Based on current evidence, the optimal training modes or combination of training modes (strength, aerobic, balance, coordination, etc.) and the optimal frequency of training for improvement in locomotor function are unclear... - Effect of a 12-month physical conditioning programme on the metabolic cost of walking in healthy older adultsOmar S Mian
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, ST7 2HL, Alsager, Cheshire, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 100:499-505. 2007..In conclusion, this investigation has shown that a multi-component physical conditioning programme had a beneficial impact on functional capacity but did not lower C(W) in healthy community dwelling older adults... - Gastrocnemius specific force is increased in elderly males following a 12-month physical training programmeChristopher I Morse
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement IRM, Manchester Metropolitan University, Hassall Road, Alsager Campus, Cheshire, Alsager, ST7 2HL, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 100:563-70. 2007..In conclusion, with the level of agonist and antagonist muscle activity accounted for a 12-month strength training programme resulted in an increase in both PCSA and specific force in elderly males... - Neuromuscular and balance responses to flywheel inertial versus weight training in older personsGladys L Onambele
Department of Exercise and Sport Science, Manchester Metropolitan University, Hassall Road, Alsager, ST7 2HL, UK
J Biomech 41:3133-8. 2008..Postural sway is associated with muscle contractile capacity and to the ability of rapidly correcting ankle joint changes. Thus, resistance training would be expected to improve not only strength but also postural balance... - Centre of mass motion during stair negotiation in young and older menOmar S Mian
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire ST7 2HL, United Kingdom
Gait Posture 26:463-9. 2007.... - Kinematics of stair descent in young and older adults and the impact of exercise trainingOmar S Mian
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire ST7 2HL, United Kingdom
Gait Posture 25:9-17. 2007..We found no evidence that these differences are reduced by generic exercise training, at least in non-frail older adults... - Non-linear vector summation of left and right vestibular signals for human balanceBrian L Day
Sobell Department of Motor Neuroscience and Movement Disorders, UCL Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK
J Physiol 588:671-82. 2010..The former process improves signal-to-noise and reduces artifactual common-mode changes, while the latter enhances responses to small signals, all critical for detecting the small head movements needed to control human balance... - Muscle strength, volume and activation following 12-month resistance training in 70-year-old malesChristopher I Morse
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement IRM, Manchester Metropolitan University, Alsager, Cheshire, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 95:197-204. 2005..This study has shown that the gain in muscle strength in response to long-term (12-month) training in older men is mostly accounted for by an increased muscle volume and activation...
