Humans are adept at performing an extraordinary breadth of voluntary motor actions that
allow us to rapidly move around and interact with the environment. While voluntary motor …

Despite many real-world examples where skin and muscle receptors must function in
concert to support movement control, responses based on these sensory modalities are …

Learning a new motor task modifies feedforward (ie, voluntary) motor commands and such
learning also changes the sensitivity of feedback responses (ie, reflexes) to mechanical …

The dual task is an important factor affecting knee biomechanics during jump-landing tasks.
Athletes often have trouble in performing two tasks concurrently and a dual task can …

Explosive resistance training increases rate of force development in ankle dorsiflexors and …

Passive limb displacement is routinely used to assess muscle tone. If we attempt to quantify
muscle stiffness using mechanical devices, it is important to know whether kinematic stimuli …

Perturbations applied to the upper limbs elicit short (M1: 25–50 ms) and long-latency (M2:
50–100 ms) responses in the stretched muscle. M1 is produced by a spinal reflex loop, and …

Various functional modulations of the stretch reflex help to stabilize actions, but the
computational mechanism behind its context-dependent tuning remains unclear. While …

For whole-body sway patterns, a compound motor response following an external stimulus
may comprise reflexes, postural adjustments (anticipatory or compensatory), and voluntary …

Responses elicited after the shortest latency spinal reflexes but prior to the onset of
voluntary activity can display sophistication beyond a stereotypical reflex. Two distinct …
