Journal ArticleDOI
The anthroform biorobotic arm: a system for the study of spinal circuits.
TL;DR: The design, construction, and testing of a replica of the human arm, which aims to be dynamically as well as kinematically accurate, and to improve the understanding of the reflexive control of human movement and posture is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between the specific H reflex facilitation preceding a voluntary movement and movement parameters in man.
A Eichenberger,D G Rüegg +1 more
TL;DR: The present results suggest that the specific facilitation of the H reflex before a movement is caused by removal of presynaptic inhibition at I a terminals or by activation of interneurones intercalated in polysynaptic components of theH reflex rather than by a subthreshold activation of motoneurones.
Self-terminated fast movement of the forearm in man : amplitude dependence of the triple burst pattern
Guy Cheron,Emile Godaux +1 more
TL;DR: The interval between the onsets of the agonist and the antagonist bursts increased as a function of the ampli tude of the self-terminated fast movement and the amplitude dependence of the classical triphasic bursting pattern was analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of stretch-evoked reflexes in single motor units in human masseter muscle by experimental pain.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the most likely explanation for the reduced reflex response of low-threshold masseter motor units during experimental pain is a tonic reduction in the fusimotor drive to the masseter spindles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial/temporal characteristics of a motor pattern for reaching.
TL;DR: General features of the phasic spatial/temporal patterns differed across muscles, even across muscles at the same joint, indicates that future models of cortical to motoneuronal processing must include nonuniform space-time transformations.
