Optimal feedback control and the long-latency stretch response
There has traditionally been a separation between voluntary control processes and the fast
feedback responses which follow mechanical perturbations (ie, stretch “reflexes”). However …

Secondary endings of muscle spindles: Structure, reflex action, role in motor control and proprioception
New Findings What is the topic of this review? We describe the structure and function of
secondary sensory endings of muscle spindles, their reflex action and role in motor control …

The long-latency reflex is composed of at least two functionally independent processes
The nervous system counters mechanical perturbations applied to the arm with a
stereotypical sequence of muscle activity, starting with the short-latency stretch reflex and …

Long-latency reflexes account for limb biomechanics through several supraspinal pathways
IL Kurtzer - Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Accurate control of body posture is enforced by a multitude of corrective actions operating
over a range of time scales. The earliest correction is the short-latency reflex (SLR) which …

Rigidity in Parkinson's disease: evidence from biomechanical and neurophysiological measures
Although rigidity is a cardinal motor sign in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), the
instrumental measurement of this clinical phenomenon is largely lacking, and its …

Control of wrist position and muscle relaxation by shifting spatial frames of reference for motoneuronal recruitment: possible involvement of corticospinal pathways
It has previously been established that muscles become active in response to deviations
from a threshold (referent) position of the body or its segments, and that intentional motor …

Learning new feedforward motor commands based on feedback responses
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 …

Neurophysiologic effects of spinal manipulation in patients with chronic low back pain
Background While there is growing evidence for the efficacy of SM to treat LBP, little is
known on the mechanisms and physiologic effects of these treatments. Accordingly, the …

Increased human stretch reflex dynamic sensitivity with height‐induced postural threat
Key points Threats to standing balance (postural threat) are known to facilitate soleus
tendon‐tap reflexes, yet the mechanisms driving reflex changes are unknown. Scaling of …
