Intrinsic musculoskeletal properties stabilize wiping movements in the spinalized frog.
The mechanical stability properties of hindlimb-hindlimb wiping movements of the spinalized frog were examined. One hindlimb, the wiping limb, was implanted with 12 electromyographic (EMG) electrodes and attached to a robot that both recorded its trajectory and applied brief force perturbations. Cutaneous electrical stimulation was applied to the other hindlimb, the target limb, to evoke the hi...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal properties, coordination and performance in explosive movements
The purpose of this paper is to explain how and why performance in explosive movements depends on musculoskeletal properties and coordination. First, a musculoskeletal model is presented that has muscle stimulation as only independent input, and allows for forward simulation of explosive movements. Subsequently, a theoretical framework is presented for analyzing simulation results: performance ...
متن کاملAnticipatory eye movements stabilize gaze during self-generated head movements.
Visual acuity and motion perception are degraded during head movements unless the eyes counter-rotate so as to stabilize the line of sight and the retinal image. The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is assumed to produce this ocular counter-rotation. Consistent with this assumption, oscillopsia is a common complaint of patients with bilateral vestibular weakness. Shanidze et al. recently described...
متن کاملKinematic strategies and sensorimotor transformations in the wiping movements of frogs.
1. Spinal frogs are known to make coordinated and successful wiping movements to almost all places on the body and legs. Such wiping movements involve a sensorimotor transformation. Information from both the spatial locations of stimuli on the skin and the body configuration of the frog is transformed into a set of motor commands that generate body movements adequate to successfully remove the ...
متن کاملKinematics and control of frog hindlimb movements.
1. The determinants of the motion path of the hindlimb were explored in both intact and spinal frogs. In the spinal preparations the kinematic properties of withdrawal and crossed-extension reflexes were studied. In the intact frog the kinematics of withdrawal and swimming movements were examined. Frog hindlimb paths were described in joint angle (intrinsic) coordinates rather than limb endpoin...
