Journal ArticleDOI

Moving differently in pain: a new theory to explain the adaptation to pain.

TL;DR: The motor adaptation to pain from the micro (single motoneuron) to macro (coordination of whole-muscle behaviour) levels is considered and to provide a basis for a new theory to explain the motor changes in pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elastography for Muscle Biomechanics: Toward the Estimation of Individual Muscle Force.

TL;DR: This review presents a series of experiments that used ultrasound shear wave elastography to support the hypothesis that muscle stiffness is linearly related to both active and passive muscle forces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Motor Unit Recruitment Strategies Are Altered during Deep-Tissue Pain

TL;DR: It is concluded that reduced motor unit discharge rate with pain is accompanied by changes in the population of units used to maintain force, and provides the basis for a new mechanism of motor adaptation with pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the H-reflex and M-wave in the human triceps surae.

TL;DR: The fundamental differences between the structure and function of the human soleus and gastrocnemii muscles are reviewed, including recent data published about their complex innervation zones.
