The Circuitry of the Human Spinal Cord : Its Role in Motor Control and Movement Disorders
TL;DR: The pathophysiology of spasticity and parkinsonian rigidity is studied through the lens of Muscle spindles and fusimotor drive: microneurography and other techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength-duration properties of human peripheral nerve
TL;DR: Weiss's formula, which relates threshold charge to stimulus duration, provided an accurate fit for the experimental data, and the study validated that, using it, relatively few experimental measurements were required to calculate the time constant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Task-dependent reflex responses and movement illusions evoked by galvanic vestibular stimulation in standing humans.
TL;DR: There were no vestibular‐evoked responses when seated subjects made voluntary contractions of the leg muscles or when they stood upright with the trunk supported, using the ankles to balance a body‐like load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual responses to microstimulation of single afferents innervating joints, muscles and skin of the human hand.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the human brain may be able to synthesize meaningful information on joint displacement on the basis of impulses in a single joint afferent, and that the brain needs the information from more than one muscle spindle afferent to perceive changes in joint angle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle spindle activity in man during shortening and lengthening contractions.
TL;DR: It is suggested that a functional role for the fusimotor activation during slow shortening contractions is to provide spindle endings with a background discharge so that they can detect irregularities in the movement and initiate the appropriate reflex correction.
