Inhibitory effect of needle penetration on vibration-induced finger flexion reflex in humans
BACKGROUND Vibration-induced finger flexion reflex (VFR) in the upper extremity is inhibited by needle insertion acupuncture to the large intestine 4 (LI4) at the hand. This claim has a limitation because the inhibitory effect is deduced only from reduction in the maximum finger flexion (FF) force during the tonic flexion reflex by vibratory stimulation after acupuncture. METHODS The study wa...
متن کاملExteroceptive vibration-induced finger flexion reflex in man.
A tonic finger flexion reflex, induced by mechanical vibration (100 Hz) of the fingers, was studied in 20 healthy subjects. The outcome of nerve blocking experiments indicated that the reflex is mainly exteroceptive, distinct from the tonic vibration reflex of muscle spindle origin. Mechanoreceptors with fast conducting nerve fibres in the distal phalanx seem to constitute the major afferent so...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of pain-eliciting transcutaneous electrical stimulation on vibration-induced finger flexion reflex in the human upper limb.
We studied the effects of non-pain transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) and pain-eliciting TES on vibration-induced finger flexion reflex (VFR) in 12 healthy volunteers. Tonic finger flexion reflex in the upper limb was induced by the application of vibratory stimulation on the volar side of the middle fingertip in the right hand before and after TES. Non-pain TES or pain-eliciting TES w...

15 صفحه اولDecoding Finger Flexion from Band-Specific ECoG Signals in Humans
This article presents the method that won the brain-computer interface (BCI) competition IV addressed to the prediction of the finger flexion from electrocorticogram (ECoG) signals. ECoG-based BCIs have recently drawn the attention from the community. Indeed, ECoG can provide higher spatial resolution and better signal quality than classical EEG recordings. It is also more suitable for long-ter...
