Similar movements are associated with drastically different muscle contraction velocities.
We investigated how kinematic redundancy interacts with the neurophysiological control mechanisms required for smooth and accurate, rapid limb movements. Biomechanically speaking, tendon excursions are over-determined because the rotation of few joints determines the lengths and velocities of many muscles. But how different are the muscle velocity profiles induced by various, equally valid hand...
متن کاملStep-tracking movements of the wrist. IV. Muscle activity associated with movements in different directions.
We examined the patterns of muscle activity associated with multiple directions of step-tracking movements of the wrist in humans and monkeys. Human subjects made wrist movements to 12 different targets that required varying amounts of flexion-extension and radial-ulnar deviation. Wrist muscles displayed two patterns of electromyographic (EMG) modulation as movement direction changed: amplitude...
متن کاملAssessment of Trunk Muscle Co-contraction during Multi-axial Movements
INTRODUCTION It has been well documented that individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) tend to exhibit different muscle activation patterns in the trunk musculature when compared with healthy individuals. Studies investigating the flexion relaxation phenomenon have observed the persistence of muscle activation during full trunk flexion in CLBP [1], while Silfies et al. [2] found that CLBP ...
متن کاملSimilar Personality Patterns Are Associated with Empathy in Four Different Countries
Empathy is an important human ability associated with successful social interaction. It is currently unclear how to optimally measure individual differences in empathic processing. Although the Big Five model of personality is an effective model to explain individual differences in human experience and behavior, its relation to measures of empathy is currently not well understood. Therefore, th...
متن کاملEnhanced Permeability to Sugar Associated with Muscle Contraction
When contractures were induced in isolated frog sartorius muscles with 4 mM caffeine, there was an increase in permeability of the muscle cells to 3-methylglucose. This observation suggests that the changes in permeability to sugar that are known to occur in electrically stimulated muscles may not be intimately related to the depolarization phase of the tissue response. Contractures that were e...
