The spinal interneurons and properties of glutamatergic synapses in a primitive vertebrate cutaneous flexion reflex.
Unlike the monosynaptic "stretch" reflex, the exact neuronal pathway for a simple cutaneous reflex has not yet been defined in any vertebrate. In young frog tadpoles, we made whole-cell recordings from pairs of spinal neurons. We found direct, excitatory, glutamatergic synapses from touch-sensitive skin-sensory neurons to sensory pathway interneurons, and then from these sensory interneurons to...
متن کاملKinematic and electromyographic analysis of elbow flexion during inertial exercise.
Inertial exercise protocols are currently used clinically to improve and restore normal muscle function even though research to substantiate their effectiveness cannot be cited in the literature. The purpose of this study was to compare simultaneous kinematic and electromyographic (EMG) data obtained from 12 subjects during elbow flexion on the Impulse Inertial Exercise System. Testing sessions...
متن کاملAttempted rapid elbow flexion movements in patients with athetosis.
Voluntary rapid elbow flexion movements were studied in 14 patients with athetosis on the basis of cerebral palsy. When the movement was attempted with one arm, other muscles inappropriate for the task, such as muscles in the opposite limb, were also activated. EMG activity of the biceps and triceps was analysed in detail, and the patterns seen in the different patients were divided into six gr...
متن کاملElbow Flexion and Extension Movements Characterization by Means of EMG
Electromyographic (EMG) signal is the electrical manifestation of neuromuscular activation associated with muscle contraction. The present work intends to characterize the behavior of the muscles biceps and triceps during elbow flexion and extension movements, without load. These movements were performed at horizontal and vertical planes. Three types of test were performed, for each plane, rela...
متن کاملMechanical Simulation of the Extension and Flexion of the Elbow Joint in Rehabilitation
Objective: The goal of the present study was to improve the extension and flexion of the elbow joint for rehabilitation purposes, in terms of energy dissipation and of injuries caused by stress imposed on connective tissue by exercise equipments during force transfer , by investigation of viscoelastic property variations during change in speed of motion. Materials & Methods: A sample of five...
