The aim was to determine whether differences in joint synergies or individual joint rotations affect the endpoint (hand position) variance. Joint and endpoint coordinates were measured while participants performed drawing tasks. Variances of arm configurations and endpoints were computed and statistically analyzed for 12 patients and 12 controls. The variance of arm movements for patients (both for arm configuration and endpoint) was overall higher than that for the control group. Variation was smaller for drawing a circle versus a square and for drawing with the dominant versus the nondominant hand within both groups. The ratio of arm configuration variances between groups was similar to the ratio of endpoint variances. There were significant differences in the velocity, but not in the path lengths of movements comparing the two groups. Patients presented less movement stability while drawing different figures in different trials. Moreover, the similarity of the ratios suggests that the ill-coordinated hand movement was caused by the error in the movements of individual body parts rather than by the lack of intersegmental coordination. Thus, rehabilitation may focus on the improvement of the precision of individual joint rotations.}, keywords = {SIZE; VARIABILITY; coordination; Parkinson's disease; TASK; variables; Trajectories; POINTING MOVEMENTS; movement stability; joint rotation; drawing movement}, year = {2009}, eissn = {1473-5660}, pages = {53-63}, orcid-numbers = {Fazekas, Gábor/0000-0003-3612-8826} } @article{MTMT:1857173, title = {Improving functional electrical stimulation driven cycling by proper synchronization of the muscles}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1857173}, author = {Pilissy, Tamás and Klauber, András and Fazekas, Gábor and Laczkó, József and Szécsi, J}, journal-iso = {IDEGGYOGY SZEMLE}, journal = {IDEGGYOGYASZATI SZEMLE / CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {61}, unique-id = {1857173}, issn = {0019-1442}, abstract = {Our aim is to define optimal stimulation patterns for controlling lower limb movements of spinal cord injured patients. Here we report on a study about cycling movements of healthy subjects under regular conditions and spinal cord injured patients whose cycling movement was generated by functional electrical stimulation. The stimulation pattern required for coordinated activities of lower limb muscles of spinal cord injured patients was improved by using the observations what we gained from measuring and analyzing cycling movements of 42 young healthy subjects. Kinematical parameters (joint angles) and muscle activities (EMG) were recorded simultaneously by an ultrasound based movement analyzing system. We replaced the cycling program of the commercially available stimulator with a new one that we developed on the basis of the measured healthy cycling movements. We present that our new stimulation patterns provided a great increase in the performance of our spinal cord injured patients.}, keywords = {Adult; Adolescent; Female; Male; Humans; ARTICLE; PATHOPHYSIOLOGY; methodology; human; Electric Stimulation; Treatment Outcome; Movement; Muscle, Skeletal; skeletal muscle; electrostimulation; Biomechanics; Electromyography; transcutaneous nerve stimulation; Muscle Contraction; Lower Extremity; Exercise Therapy; movement (physiology); Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation; spinal cord injury; Muscle Fatigue; Bicycling; bicycle; kinesiotherapy; leg; Spinal Cord Injuries}, year = {2008}, eissn = {2498-6208}, pages = {162-167}, orcid-numbers = {Pilissy, Tamás/0000-0003-2908-4300; Fazekas, Gábor/0000-0003-3612-8826} } @article{MTMT:1861130, title = {Variances of Hand Positions and Arm Configurations During Arm Movements Under External Load and Without External Load}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1861130}, author = {Laczkó, József and Keresztényi, Z}, journal-iso = {MOTOR CONTROL}, journal = {MOTOR CONTROL}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {1861130}, issn = {1087-1640}, year = {2007}, eissn = {1543-2696}, pages = {S127} } @article{MTMT:140416, title = {Joint angle variability in 3D bimanual pointing: uncontrolled manifold analysis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/140416}, author = {Domkin, D and Laczkó, József and Djupsjöbacka, M and Jaric, S and Latash, ML}, doi = {10.1007/s00221-004-2137-1}, journal-iso = {EXP BRAIN RES}, journal = {EXPERIMENTAL BRAIN RESEARCH}, volume = {163}, unique-id = {140416}, issn = {0014-4819}, year = {2005}, eissn = {1432-1106}, pages = {44-57} } @article{MTMT:140377, title = {A neuro-mechanical transducer model for controlling joint rotations and limb movements}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/140377}, author = {Laczkó, József and Walton, K and Llinas, R}, journal-iso = {CLIN NEUROSCI RES}, journal = {CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH}, volume = {59}, unique-id = {140377}, issn = {1566-2772}, year = {2005}, pages = {32-43} } @article{MTMT:1816138, title = {Mozgáskárosodás felmérése elektromiográfiával - a kineziológiai EMG [Assessment of motor impairment with electromyography--the kinesiological EMG]}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1816138}, author = {Horváth, Mónika and Fazekas, Gábor}, journal-iso = {IDEGGYOGY SZEMLE}, journal = {IDEGGYOGYASZATI SZEMLE / CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {56}, unique-id = {1816138}, issn = {0019-1442}, abstract = {Kinesiological electromyography means the application of the surface EMG measurement technique during movement and locomotion.

Surface EMG activity in musculus biceps brachii and musculus triceps brachii were recorded during voluntary elbow flexion and extension movements. In some cases even the raw EMG signals contain the accurate information but more often the recorded signals should further be processed to achieve more valuable data concerning muscle performance. The limitations of the technique underlines the importance of the several steps of the processing. The purpose of this study is to present a systematic description of the methods and the precise application of surface EMG.
