The muscle silent period and reciprocal inhibition in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanical properties of muscle are shown to have a significant influence on the duration of the silent period in the soleus EMG. In contrast to this, the mechanical events have no influence on the duration of the reciprocal inhibition of the anterior tibial muscle. However, a second, delayed cessation of the EMG activity in the anterior tibial muscle is due to mechanical events.

Myoelectric silence following unopposed passive stretch in normal man.
The response to unopposed passive muscle stretch applied during sustained contraction was studied in normal man. When the subject did not resist the stretching force, the initial response was a brief cessation of EMG activity in the elongated muscle. The myoelectric silence was observed repeatedly in muscles of the upper and lower limbs. The response to passive stretch is discussed in relation ...
متن کاملThe electromyographic silent period produced by supramaximal electrical stimulation in normal man.
The electromyographic silent period produced by supramaximal electrical stimulation of the median nerve was recorded in the abductor pollicis brevis muscle of four normal subjects during maximal isometric voluntary contraction. Except for an inconstant F response, electrical silence could usually be induced in the muscle from the twitch potential until the reappearance of uninterrupted voluntar...

The reflex responses evoked by direct electrical stimulation of the intracranial portion of the trigeminal nerve have been studied in 16 subjects undergoing percutaneous retrogasserian thermocoagulation for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia affecting the second or third division. In the obicularis oculi muscle, early and late responses similar to the R1 and R2 components of the blink reflex...
متن کاملLevodopa in Parkinsonism: reduction in the electromyographic silent period and its relationship with tremor.
The electromyographic silent period after electrical stimulation of the median nerve was recorded by surface electrodes over the abductor pollicis brevis muscle in 32 patients with Parkinsonism before and after treatment with levodopa. A supra-maximal stimulus was delivered during maximal isometric contraction of the muscle. The silent period was prolonged in the untreated state compared with c...
متن کاملFocal hand dystonia in a patient with thoracic outlet syndrome.
A patient affected by thoracic outlet syndrome, with an involvement of the left lower primary trunk due to a rudimentary cervical rib, developed a severe hand dystonia on the same side. The dystonic posture was characterised by a flexion of the wrist with the fingers curled into the palm. Polygraphic recordings performed on the left flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS4) and extensor digitorum s...
