Description
Part of an Invited Symposium on "Central Neuromuscular Dysfunction: Rethinking the Path to Rehabilitation". The symposium focused on Neuromuscular dysfunction is traditionally attributed to both central and peripheral mechanisms, with joint swelling, pain, and mechanoreceptor damage often highlighted as key contributors. However, emerging evidence suggests that central factors—particularly those governing neural drive and cortical activation—play a more dominant role in the persistence of these deficits. This shift in understanding calls for targeted interventions addressing central neural dysfunction to optimize musculoskeletal rehabilitation. In this symposium, the three presenting researchers will delve into the brain-muscle interface, exploring the neurological impact of injuries and the potential for novel treatments, such as electrical stimulation, eccentric exercise, and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to restore function. This session will synthesize the latest advances in neuromuscular dysfunction, covering both foundational research and clinical applications, and present innovative, evidence-based therapies with the potential to significantly improve rehabilitation outcomes. While the neuromuscular dysfunction will be focused on traumatic joint injuries, insights from disuse will also be discussed. This symposium is highly applicable to scientists who study and clinicians who deal with neuromuscular dysfunction.| Period | 8 Jul 2026 |
