Description: The course will cover the practical assessment of neuromuscular function and adaptations following training or rehabilitation. The topics covered include: assessment of spinal integration by measures such as reciprocal inhibition, monosynaptic Ia excitation and post-activation depression, assessment of cortical pathways by measures such as I-wave facilitation, motor evoked potential changes as well as cortical inhibition and facilitation. Assessment of muscle function though motor unit recordings and array electrodes. The course will be conducted through a combination of lectures as well as laboratory work.
Literature:
Selected papers and book chapters will be provided to the participants shortly before the course.
Prerequisites:
A basic background within Anatomy, Physiology and Motor Control is desirable.
