L Liu, H Wang, L Shi, A Almuklass, T He, S Aiken… - PLoS …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Noise-exposure at levels low enough to avoid a permanent threshold shift has been found
to cause a massive, delayed degeneration of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in mouse …

Force steadiness as a predictor of time to complete a pegboard test of dexterity in young men and women

AM Almuklass, RC Price, JR Gould… - Journal of Applied …, 2016 - journals.physiology.org
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the capacity of an expanded set of force steadiness
tasks to explain the variance in the time it takes young men and women to complete the …

Motor unit activity, force steadiness, and perceived fatigability are correlated with mobility in older adults

D Mani, AM Almuklass, LD Hamilton… - Journal of …, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
The purpose of our study was to examine the associations between the performance of older
adults on four tests of mobility and the physical capabilities of the lower leg muscles. The …

Force control during submaximal isometric contractions is associated with walking performance in persons with multiple sclerosis

LA Davis, MS Alenazy, AM Almuklass… - Journal of …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org
Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience progressive declines in movement
capabilities, especially walking performance. The purpose of our study was to compare the …

Motor unit discharge characteristics and walking performance of individuals with multiple sclerosis

AM Almuklass, L Davis, LD Hamilton… - Journal of …, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
Walking performance of persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) is strongly influenced by the
activation signals received by lower leg muscles. We examined the associations between force …

A framework for identifying the adaptations responsible for differences in pegboard times between middle-aged and older adults

LD Hamilton, E Thomas, AM Almuklass… - Experimental …, 2017 - Elsevier
Time to complete two tests of manual dexterity, the 9-hole Peg Test and Grooved Pegboard
Test, increases with advancing age. However, the adaptations responsible for the …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation can improve mobility in older adults but the time course varies across tasks: Double-blind, randomized trial

D Mani, AM Almuklass, IG Amiridis, RM Enoka - Experimental gerontology, 2018 - Elsevier
Declines in mobility with advancing age are often associated with a reduction in the use of
lower leg muscles. We examined the influence of two interventions that involved …

Sensory nerve stimulation causes an immediate improvement in motor function of persons with multiple sclerosis: A pilot study

AM Almuklass, RA Capobianco, DF Feeney… - Multiple sclerosis and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms reported in the first year of the disease
