What is the contribution of voluntary and reflex processes to sensorimotor control of balance?

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
The contribution to balance of spinal and transcortical processes including the long-latency reflex is well known. The control of balance has been modelled previously as a continuous, state feedback controller representing, long-latency reflexes. However,

Intervention effects maintenance: 6-month randomized controlled trial follow-up of standard and reflexive pelvic floor muscle trainingAJOG Global Reports at a Glance

AJOG Global Reports, 2022
BACKGROUND: To date, the focus of pelvic floor muscle training for women suffering from stress urinary incontinence has been on voluntary contractions although involuntary pelvic floor muscle contractions are crucial to guarantee continence in high ...

Heatwave-Like Events During Development Are Sufficient to Impair Bumblebee Worker Responses to Sensory Stimuli

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Heatwaves are increasingly common globally and are known to have detrimental impacts on animal morphology and behaviour. These impacts can be severe, especially if heatwaves occur during development, even on animals that can regulate the temperature of ...

Monosynaptic facilitation of motoneurons innervating intrinsic hand muscles mediated by group Ia afferents from the extensor carpi radialis in humans

Physiological Reports, 2022
The projection pattern of low‐threshold afferents from the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) to motoneurons supplying intrinsic hand muscles was investigated using the post‐stimulus time‐histogram (PSTH) and electromyogram‐averaging (EMG‐A) methods ...

Sampling Reflex as a New Manometric Marker in the Diagnosis of Defecation Disorders - Systematic Review

Journal of Coloproctology, 2023
Introduction Distension of the rectum wall and subsequent momentary relaxation of the internal anal sphincter (IAS) trigger a reflex called the rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR).

Motor Unit Discharge Patterns in Response to Focal Tendon Vibration of the Lower Limb in Cats and Humans

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
High-frequency vibration of the tendon provides potent activation of Ia afferents time-locked to the stimulation frequency and provides excitatory ionotropic activation of homonymous motor pools. In cats, the evoked motor unit discharge is constrained to

Trunk Angle Modulates Feedforward and Feedback Control during Single-Limb Squatting

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2021
Trunk positioning and unexpected perturbations are high-risk conditions at the time of anterior cruciate ligament injury. The influence of trunk positioning on motor control responses to perturbation during dynamic performance is not known. We tested the

Philosophical Performances in Everyday Life Situations

Performance Philosophy, 2016
The real world of everyday life with its unfailing routines, repetitions and manifold habits may be seen as a matrix for the immanent expressions of what could holistically be called ‘The Void’, ‘The Real’ or simply ‘The all-embracing presence of ...
