Journal ArticleDOI
Ankle extensor group i afferents excite extensors throughout the hindlimb during fictive locomotion in the cat
TL;DR: It is argued that both muscle spindle and tendon organ afferents can contribute to the increase in extensor nerve activity evoked by group I stimulation intensity during fictive locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mammalian central pattern generator for locomotion
TL;DR: This article constitutes a comprehensive review summarizing key findings on the organization and properties of this network that has been referred to as the central pattern generator (CPG) for locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central Pattern Generator for Locomotion: Anatomical, Physiological, and Pathophysiological Considerations
TL;DR: This article constitutes a comprehensive review summarizing key findings on the CPG as well as on its potential role in Restless Leg Syndrome, Periodic Leg Movement, and Alternating Leg Muscle Activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of stimulation of hindlimb flexor group II afferents during fictive locomotion in the cat.
TL;DR: The resetting from flexion to extension suggests that unexpected or enhanced activity of flexor secondaries during swing would promote a switch of the step cycle to stance, and the possibility that group II resetting during fictive locomotion is not mediated by flexion reflex pathways but by previously unknown pathways released in the present preparation is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Human Central Pattern Generator for Locomotion: Does It Exist and Contribute to Walking?
TL;DR: This work focuses on human studies that utilized spinal cord stimulation or pharmacological neuromodulation to generate rhythmic activity in individuals with spinal cord injury, and on neuromechanical modeling of human locomotion.
