Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rehabilitation based on movement execution is essential for enhancing human motor and cognitive functions. In particular, motor function decline due to aging and neurological diseases is a significant health threat whose improvement requires the restoration of the overall movement system through central and peripheral nervous system enhancement. Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques can induce changes in the central nervous system, while electrical muscle stimulation can affect the peripheral nervous system, both of which contribute to improving motor and cognitive function. Moreover, combining these neurostimulation-based rehabilitation approaches with various forms of exercise can accelerate motor function improvement. This Special Issue aims to collect studies on various rehabilitation programs designed to improve human motor and cognitive functions, along with the mechanisms behind these approaches.
