1.
Potts C, Williamson R, Jacob J, Kantak S, Buxbaum L
Exp Brain Res . 2024 Oct; 242(12):2785-2797. PMID: 39395059
A vexing characteristic of motor disability after stroke is that many individuals fail to use their affected arm effectively despite having the capacity to do so, a phenomenon termed arm...

Potts C, Kantak S
J Neuroeng Rehabil . 2023 Nov; 20(1):153. PMID: 37950249
Background: Unilateral stroke leads to asymmetric deficits in movement performance; yet its effects on naturalistic bimanual actions, a key aspect of everyday functions, are understudied. Particularly, how naturalistic bimanual actions...

Kantak S, Johnson T, Zarzycki R
Phys Ther . 2022 Jan; 102(4). PMID: 35079833
Impact: This Perspective proposes that approaching PRMD from a contemporary motor control perspective will uncover key mechanisms, identify treatment targets, inform assessments, and innovate treatments across sensory-perceptual, cognitive, and motor...

Kantak S, Zahedi N, McGrath R
Phys Ther . 2017 Apr; 97(7):718-728. PMID: 28444320
Background: Given limited therapy time, it is important to practice tasks that optimize transfer to other tasks that cannot be practiced during therapy. However, little is known about how tasks...

Kantak S, Zahedi N, McGrath R
Arch Phys Med Rehabil . 2016 Feb; 97(5):798-806. PMID: 26874232
Objectives: To determine (1) bimanual coordination deficits in patients with stroke using 3-dimensional kinematic analyses as they perform naturalistic tasks requiring collaborative interaction of the 2 arms; and (2) whether...

McGrath R, Kantak S
Hum Mov Sci . 2015 Dec; 45:130-41. PMID: 26638046
Hemispheric specialization for motor control influences how individuals perform and adapt to goal-directed movements. In contrast to adaptation, motor skill learning involves a process wherein one learns to synthesize novel...

Dutta A, Krishnan C, Kantak S, Ranganathan R, Nitsche M
Restor Neurol Neurosci . 2015 Mar; 33(5):663-9. PMID: 25791041
Purpose: Recent evidence indicates that anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can selectively alter the EMG/force relationship of agonist arm muscles; however, the mechanisms mediating those changes are less clear....

Massie C, Kantak S, Narayanan P, Wittenberg G
Clin Neurophysiol . 2014 Oct; 126(5):1024-32. PMID: 25283712
Objective: The objective was to determine how stimulation timing applied during reaching influenced neuroplasticity related to practice. Older adult participants were studied to increase relevance for stroke rehabilitation and aging....

Krishnan C, Ranganathan R, Kantak S, Dhaher Y, Rymer W
Brain Stimul . 2014 Mar; 7(3):443-50. PMID: 24582369
Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is known to reliably alter motor cortical excitability in a polarity dependent fashion such that anodal stimulation increases cortical excitability and cathodal stimulation inhibits...
