	abstract = {Hoffmann reflex (HR) operant conditioning (HROC) is an important intervention for neurorehabilitation. Current HROC paradigms elicit HRs at low rates (~ 0.2 Hz), minimizing rate-dependent depression (RDD). We investigated the impact of higher stimulation rates on HR size. Fifteen healthy participants maintained low background soleus electromyographic activity (EMG) while standing. Soleus HR and M-wave recruitment curves were obtained at rates of 0.2, 1, and 2 Hz twice, from which Mmax and Hmax were calculated. Seventy-five HRs were collected for each rate at a target M-wave size (~ 10 to 20\% of Mmax). HR depression was minimal at higher stimulation rates. The mean HR amplitude was reliable across the two repetitions and three rates, with high intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values. HROC could be performed consistently at rates up to 2 Hz with minimal HR depression. Faster rates enable more conditioning trials per session, reducing session duration and/or number, thereby potentially accelerating conditioning and reducing participant burden.},

	journal = {arXiv preprint arXiv:2511.00259},
	year = {2025},
	abstract = {Precision rehabilitation aims to tailor movement training to improve outcomes. We tested whether proprioceptively-tailored robotic training improves hand function and neural processing in stroke survivors. Using a robotic finger exoskeleton, we tested two proprioceptively-tailored approaches: Propriopixel Training, which uses robot-facilitated, gamified movements to enhance proprioceptive processing, and Virtual Assistance Training, which reduces robotic aid to increase reliance on self-generated feedback. In a randomized controlled trial, forty-six chronic stroke survivors completed nine 2-hour sessions of Standard, Propriopixel or Virtual training. Among participants with proprioceptive deficits, Propriopixel ((Box and Block Test: 7 +/- 4.2, p=0.002) and Virtual Assistance (4.5 +/- 4.4 , p=0.068) yielded greater gains in hand function (Standard: 0.8 +/- 2.3 blocks). Proprioceptive gains correlated with improvements in hand function. Tailored training enhanced neural sensitivity to proprioceptive cues, evidenced by a novel EEG biomarker, the proprioceptive Contingent Negative Variation. These findings support proprioceptively-tailored training as a pathway to precision neurorehabilitation.},
