Spasticity Measurement Based on Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold in Children with Cerebral Palsy Using the PediAnklebot

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Nowadays, objective measures are becoming prominent in spasticity assessment, to overcome limitations of clinical scales. Among others, Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold (TSRT) showed promising results.

Changes in stretch reflex excitability are related to 'giving way' symptoms in patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture

open access: yes, 2007
*This article is free to read on the publisher's website*\ud \ud A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) usually leads to an altered stretch reflex excitability of the thigh muscles that stabilize the knee.

Standardization of the Jendrassik maneuver in Achilles tendon tap reflex

open access: yesClinical Neurophysiology Practice, 2018
Objective: For many decades, the Jendrassik maneuver (JM) has been used as a reinforcement for stretch reflexes, although the underlying mechanism of this reinforcement is still not fully understood. Moreover, the term JM has been used for many different

Transcranial magnetic stimulation over sensorimotor cortex disrupts anticipatory reflex gain modulation for skilled action

open access: yes, 2006
Skilled interactions with new environments require flexible changes to the transformation from somatosensory signals to motor outputs. Transcortical reflex gains are known to be modulated according to task and environmental dynamics, but the mechanism of

Functional compartmentalisation of motor units during the stretch reflex

open access: yes, 2023
Within the biceps brachii muscle, the activation of anatomically localized subsets of motor units depends on the function the muscle is performing, either flexion, supination, or exorotation.

Flexible Implantable Silicon Carbide Multi‐Electrode Array (MEA) for Cell Multichannel Recording and Cell Ablation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Flexible silicon carbide (SiC) microelectrode arrays enable high‐fidelity, multichannel cell extracellular recording and precise localized ablation. SiC has been extensively evaluated to persist long‐term in chronic physiological conditions while remaining robust, with excellent electrical and electrochemical stability.

Effect of mental fatigue on induced tremor in human knee extensors

open access: yes, 2014
In this study, the effects of mental fatigue on mechanically induced tremor at both a low (3-6Hz) and high (8-12Hz) frequency were investigated. The two distinct tremor frequencies were evoked using two springs of different stiffness, during 20s ...

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Existing motor state is favored at the expense of new movement during 13-35 Hz oscillatory synchrony in the human corticospinal system

open access: yes, 2005
Oscillations in local field potentials in the β-frequency band (13-35 Hz) are a pervasive feature of human and nonhuman primate motor cortical areas. However, the function of such synchronous activity across populations of neurons remains unknown.
