Journal ArticleDOI
Kinaesthetic role of muscle afferents in man, studied by tendon vibration and microneurography
Jean-Pierre Roll,J P Vedel +1 more
TL;DR: The characteristics of the vibration-induced illusory movements and the muscle spindle responses to tendon vibration and to active and passive joint movements strengthened the possibility of the contribution of primary endings to kinaesthesia, as suggested by several previous works.
Journal ArticleDOI
The responses of human muscle spindle endings to vibration of non‐contracting muscles.
TL;DR: The responses of primary endings to tendon taps were reduced during muscle vibration, a reduction which probably contributes to vibration‐induced suppression of tendon jerks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibration as an exercise modality: how it may work, and what its potential might be.
Jörn Rittweger,Jörn Rittweger +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that acute vibration exercise seems to elicit a specific warm-up effect, and that vibration training seems to improve muscle power, although the potential benefits over traditional forms of resistive exercise are still unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relative sensitivity to vibration of muscle receptors of the cat.
TL;DR: Vibration was applied to the de‐efferented soleus muscle of anaesthetized cats while recording the discharge of single afferent fibres from the proprioceptors within the muscle to define conditions under which vibration can be used to excite selectively the primary endings of muscle spindles without exciting the secondary endings of Muscle spindle or Golgi tendon organs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal variability of tonic vibration reflexes in man
G. Eklund,K.-E. Hagbarth +1 more
TL;DR: This tonic vibration reflex, which probably depends upon excitation of primary spindle endings, is analyzed in the present study and technical and physiological factors determining the strength of the reflex are described.
