For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

In the last few decades, individuals with mobility issues have seen a flurry of advancements in neuroprosthetic devices, artificial systems that seek to replace a particular sensation or lost ability.

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

Bedtime routine for muscle tone after 50, a CSCS shares a 7-minute night reset to activate glutes and core without a gym.

A project at MIT has investigated whether optogenetics could be a better way to drive muscle contraction in clinical treatments than traditional electrical stimulation. Published in Science Robotics, ...

Walking represents one of humanity’s most fundamental movements, yet its potential for muscle development remains surprisingly underappreciated. While often relegated to the category of light cardio ...

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.

Neck muscles have an essential role in supporting and stabilizing your neck. More than 20 muscles are working to keep your head supported and moving. Your neck muscles have a range of responsibilities ...
