“…Although the role of the stereotypical arm movements in human bipedal gait is not as obvious as in quadrupedal gait, they are suggested to be more than just a remnant of quadrupedal gait. Gait-related arm swing contributes to stabilization (Hof, 2007;Ortega et al 2008) and energetic efficiency (Ortega et al 2008;Umberger, 2008;Yizhar et al 2009) and is also thought to evoke neuronal support for maintaining the cyclic motor pattern (Massaad et al 2014;Weersink et al 2019). This is confirmed by previous studies where adding upper limb movements to lower limb movements during rhythmic tasks improved lower limb muscle recruitment in healthy participants (Huang & Ferris, 2004Kao & Ferris, 2005;de Kam et al 2013b;Ogawa et al 2015) and neurologically impaired patients, such as patients with Parkinson's disease (Weersink et al 2018(Weersink et al , 2020, stroke (Zehr et al 2012) or spinal cord injury (de Kam et al 2013a).…”

Gait-related arm swing in humans supports efficient lower limb muscle activation, indicating a neural coupling between the upper and lower limbs during gait. r Intermuscular coherence analyses of gait-related electromyography from upper and lower limbs in 20 healthy participants identified significant coherence in alpha and beta/gamma bands indicating that upper and lower limbs share common subcortical and cortical drivers that coordinate the rhythmic four-limb gait pattern. r Additional directed connectivity analyses revealed that upper limb muscles drive and shape lower limb muscle activity during gait via subcortical and cortical pathways and to a lesser extent vice versa. r The results provide a neural underpinning that arm swing may serve as an effective rehabilitation therapy concerning impaired gait in neurological diseases.

“…These results should be interpreted with caution due to the potential issue of reverse inference when interpreting brain wave data that is superimposed onto the brain region (Poldrack, 2011). However, we considered the neural activity of the Fz channel to correspond with the activity of the supplementary motor area (SMA) based on the interpretive methodology used in previous studies (Weersink et al, 2019). Moreover, an increase in SMA activity has been reported during verbal mental-operation tasks (Tanaka et al, 2005).…”

Robot-assisted activity (RAA) is a non-pharmacological therapy used to treat behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. This study investigated the immediate effects of RAA on psychological and neurophysiological indices. Twenty-eight elderly people were assigned to the cognitive decline group ( n = 11) or control group ( n = 17) based on their Mini-Mental State Examination scores. After 5-min RAA sessions that involved patients interacting with a communication robot, patient emotions and mood states were measured, and resting-state EEG activity and salivary cortisol were assessed before and after RAA. We found that compared with those in the control group, participants in the cognitive decline group did not enjoy RAA using the communication robot. This was corroborated by EEG findings indicating decreased relaxation immediately after RAA exposure. These results suggested that participants with cognitive decline had difficulty understanding the contents of communication with the robot. Our results indicated that elderly people who have cognitive decline and use day-service centers are less likely to experience the immediate benefits of RAA, including positive emotions and mental relaxation. To conduct effective RAA for such populations, it may be useful to select a method that is better understood and enjoyed by participants.

Functional Connectivity of Vermis Correlates with Future Gait Impairments in Parkinson's Disease

A BS TRACT: Background: Dysfunction of cerebellar vermis contributes to gait abnormalities in multiple conditions and may play a key role in gait impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether altered resting-state functional connectivity of the vermis relates to subsequent impairment of specific domains of gait in PD. Methods:We conducted morphometric and restingstate functional connectivity MRI analyses contrasting 45 PD and 32 age-matched healthy participants. Quantitative gait measures were acquired with a GAITRite walkway at varying intervals after functional connectivity data acquisition. Results: At baseline, PD participants had significantly altered functional connectivity between vermis and sensorimotor cortex compared with controls. Altered vermal
