Modulation of spinal excitability following neuromuscular electrical stimulation superimposed to voluntary contraction [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) superimposed on voluntary muscle contraction has been recently shown as an innovative training modality within sport and rehabilitation, but its effects on the neuromuscular system are still unclear.

Repeatability of corticospinal and spinal measures during lengthening and shortening contractions in the human tibialis anterior muscle [PDF]

, 2012
Elements of the human central nervous system (CNS) constantly oscillate. In addition, there are also methodological factors and changes in muscle mechanics during dynamic muscle contractions that threaten the stability and consistency of transcranial ...

Physiological basis of limb-impedance modulation during free and constrained movements

, 2008
Arm stiffness is a critical factor underlying stable interactions with the environment. When the hand moves freely through space, a stiff limb would most effectively maintain the hand on the desired path in the face of external perturbations. Conversely,

Effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation on spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis

, 2010
Background and purpose: Spasticity is a common disorder and a major cause of long-term disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Our aim was to evaluatewhether a recently developed repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol ...

Effects of inhibitory pressure on tone: An experimental study. [PDF]

, 2012
INTRODUCTION : Tone is defined as the resistance of muscle to passive elongation or stretch. It is also said to be in a state of readiness. It represents the residual contractions in normally innervated resting muscle or steady state contractions ...

Neural control of standing posture [Elektronisk resurs]

, 2007
When humans are asked to stand normally, they are not completely motionless. Rather, small amounts of body movement, termed postural sway, can be observed.

Effects of ageing and Tai Chi training on soleus H-reflex in older adults

, 2011
The Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) is used to investigate the influence of Ia afferent projection on the spinal motoneuron activities. It has been suggested that the H-reflex is task-dependent and demonstrates adaptations to exercise training.
