Enhancing Motor Learning in Cycling Tasks
The Role of Model Predictive Control and Training Sequence
We evaluated the impact of Model Predictive Control (MPC) robotic-assisted versus unassisted training on motor learning of a complex bicycle steering task. Ten participants were divided into two groups, alternating between MPC-assisted and unassisted training to ride a steer-by-w

Bicycles are more difficult to control at low speeds due to the vehicle’s unstable low-speed dynamics. This issue might be exacerbated by factors such as aging, disturbances, and multi-tasking. To address this issue, we developed a prototype ‘balance assist system’ with Royal Dut

Training improves balance control in older adults, but the time course and neural mechanisms underlying these improvements are unclear. We studied balance robustness and performance, H-reflex gains, paired reflex depression, and co-contraction duration in ankle muscles after one

With aging, the sensory, motor, and central nervous system deficiencies lead to inadequate bicycle postural control in older cyclists. Similarly, variety in riding skills leads to different bicycle postural control strategies. Cycling seems to be an automated task but keeping the
