The flexion or flexor reflex (FR) recorded in the lower limbs in humans (LLFR) is a widely
investigated neurophysiological tool. It is a polysynaptic and multisegmental spinal …

The Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) test has been extensively used to investigate the
responsiveness of Ia afferent spinal loop in animal and human studies. The H-reflex …

We recently showed that four muscle synergies can reproduce multiple muscle activation
patterns in cats during postural responses to support surface translations. We now test the …

Both stretching and massage can increase range of motion. Whereas the stretching-induced
increases in ROM have been attributed to changes in neural and muscle responses, there is …

The patterns of interlimb coupling were examined in 10 stroke survivors with chronic hand
impairment. In particular, the potential roles of postural state and motor tasks in promoting …

The objectives of this study were to characterize the neurophysiological properties of the
compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) evoked by transcutaneous electric stimulation …

Persistent inward currents (PICs) play an essential role in setting motor neuron gain and
shaping motor unit firing patterns. Estimates of PICs in humans can be made using the …

The effect of body posture on the human soleus H-reflex via electrical stimulation of the tibial
nerve at the popliteal fossa was studied. All parameters that may influence the reflex were …

To maintain balance during dynamic locomotion, the effects of proprioceptive sensory
feedback control (eg reflexive control) should not be ignored because of its simple sensation …

In humans, practically all movements are learnt and performed in a constant gravitational
field. Yet, studies on arm movements and object manipulation in parabolic flight have …
