Journal ArticleDOI
The short range stiffness of active mammalian muscle and its effect on mechanical properties
Peter M. H. Rack,D. R. Westbury +1 more
TL;DR: The tension in tetanized cat soleus and lateral gastrocnemius muscles was measured during alternating lengthening and shortening movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanical properties of cat soleus muscle during controlled lengthening and shortening movements
TL;DR: By supplying pulses to different subdivisions of the ventral nerve roots in rotation, it was possible to obtain smooth contractions of cat soleus with low rates of stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of load and force on tremor at the normal human elbow joint
G. C. Joyce,Peter M. H. Rack +1 more
TL;DR: Spontaneous flexion‐extension tremor of the elbow was recorded in normal human subjects while they exerted a flexing force against different loads in order to study spontaneous flexion and extension tremor in the elbow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The forces generated at the human elbow joint in response to imposed sinusoidal movements of the forearm.
TL;DR: The mechanical resistance of the human forearm has been measured during imposed sinusoidal flexion‐extension movements of the elbow joint during imposed Sinusoidal Flexion-Extension Movement 1.1.
