Introduction
A PhD candidate and young researcher specialized in neurotrophic factors such as irisin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in connection with strength exercise and its variations. My wider research interest includes neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive functions.

Background: Submotor-threshold electrical stimulation (subES) can enhance motoneuron excitability, presenting a potential strategy for improving exercise efficiency in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of superimposed subES of the tibial nerve during voluntary isometric contraction on ank...

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether subthreshold electrical stimulation (PES) of the tibial nerve during isometric ankle plantar flexion affects the torque production, as well as the amplitude and median frequency (MF) of the electromyogram (EMG) of the soleus muscle in healthy adults and adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). A pilot...

Correctly determining the frequency, intensity and duration of balance tasks (BT) is crucial for effective balance training. While the frequency and BT duration are well defined, understanding BT intensity remains limited. Higher BT intensity demands greater attentional capacity for postural control. To assess the role of attention in postural cont...

INTRODUCTION: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is chronic, autoimmune disease expressed with demyelination of neurons of central nervous system (1), resulting in muscular weakness, spasticity and impaired voluntary muscle activation (2). Strength and aerobic training have beneficial effects for managing the symptoms (3), but people with MS often struggle to...
Presentation
The intensity of balance exercise is not fully determined yet. Some previous studies developed few exertion and stability scales but they were not clinically tested yet. PURPOSE: The main purpose of this study is to determine whether reaction time can be a measure of relative intensity of balance exercise. METHODS: A total of 20 volunteers, randoml...
