An electromyographic study of jaw opening and closing reflexes in man.
The electromyographic activity of the right masseter and digastric muscles was recorded in 10 subjects. A jaw-opening reflex was observed shortly after a mechanical stimulation in subjects performing clenching and active jaw-opening exercises. The latency of this reflex activity was about 28 ms, coinciding with the termination of the silent period of the masseter muscle. The experiments show th...
متن کاملCutaneous reflexes during human gait: electromyographic and kinematic responses to electrical stimulation.
The functions of ipsilateral cutaneous reflexes were studied with short trains of stimuli presented pseudorandomly to the superficial peroneal (SP) and tibial nerves during human gait. Electromyograms (EMGs) of tibialis anterior (TA), soleus, lateral and medial gastrocnemius, vastus lateralis (VL), and biceps femoris (BF) muscle were recorded, together with ankle and knee joint angles. Net refl...
متن کاملWithdrawal Reflexes Elicited by Electrical Stimulation of the Foot Sole during Gait
A technique of distributed surface electrical stimulation of the foot sole was used to elicit the withdrawal reflex in ankle flexors and extensors during gait. Tibialis anterior and soleus reflexes were recorded from 8 subjects during treadmill walking. The largest responses in tibialis anterior were evoked at the arch of the foot, while in soleus the largest responses were elicited at the heel...
متن کاملShort and long latency jaw-opening reflex responses elicited by mechanical stimulation in man.
Jaw-opening reflex responses elicited by tapping the chin during maximum clenching in incisal edge-to-edge contact position were studied in 10 healthy subjects. Stimuli were also delivered during weak clenching on a rubber stamp, separating the incisors by approx. 10 mm and protruding the mandible to the edge-to-edge incisor relationship. All four central incisors were stimulated simultaneously...
متن کاملMuscular reflexes elicited by electrical stimulation of the anterior cruciate ligament in humans.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees have impaired proprioception, and, although mechanoreceptors have been found in the ACL, the existence of a reflex elicited from these receptors has not been directly demonstrated in humans. In eight patients that underwent knee arthroscopy and had no sign of ACL disease, thin wire electrodes were inserted into the proximal and mid parts of the A...
