E-News | WVU research helps astronauts stay healthy on long space missions
A study led by Valeriya Gritsenko and Sergiy Yakovenko responds to the growing likelihood that astronauts will be spending longer periods in microgravity environments like space stations, the moon or ...

🧪Our new study: joint-angle trajectories during reaching stay accurate even when arm segment lengths are estimated from height. Helpful for motion capture, rehab, and remote assessments. Open access: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #biomechanics #kinematics #neuroscience
Joint angle trajectories are Robust to segment length estimation methods in human reaching
Background Quantitative movement analysis is increasingly used to assess motor deficits, but joint angle calculations depend on assumptions about limb segment lengths. These lengths are often estimate...

Our new paper is out: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... The study maps how stroke alters muscle activation patterns in the arm and what that means for improving motor-recovery. If you’re at SfN, feel free to stop by our poster on this on Sunday. #Neuroscience #Stroke #MotorControl #SfN2025
Stroke-Related Changes in Tonic and Phasic Muscle Recruitment During Reaching Reveal Pathway-Specific Motor Deficits - Anna S. Korol, Amelia Adcock, Valeriya Gritsenko, 2025
Background Upper limb motor deficits are common after stroke and often persist despite rehabilitation. While clinical assessments emphasize movement quality, th...

New research 🧪 We studied how the nervous system simplifies control of complex limb dynamics. Turns out, muscle activity during reaching is shaped by the gravitational & dynamic forces—and joint moments tell us a lot. : journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #NeuroSci #MotorControl #MuscleSynergies
Control signal dimensionality depends on limb dynamics
Neural control of movement has to overcome the problem of redundancy in the multidimensional musculoskeletal system. The problem can be solved by reducing the dimensionality of the control space of mo...
