Changes in the estimated time course of the motoneuron afterhyperpolarization induced by tendon vibration.
Group Ia afferents are activated vigorously with high-frequency tendon vibration and provide excitatory input to the agonist muscle and inhibitory input to the antagonist muscle group via inhibitory interneurons. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether the afterhyperpolarization (AHP) time course in humans is altered in response to tendon vibration. The AHP time course is estima...
متن کاملNumerical Solution for Gate Induced Vibration Due to Under Flow Cavitation
Among the many force s to which hydraulic structures are exposed to, the forces induced by cavitation incident are of typical hydrodynamic unknown forces. The aim of this study is to define these forces as coupled fluid-structure interaction under two dynamic effects. The first dynamic effect which incorporates facilities for dealing with cavitation fluid is based on the appearance and bursting...
متن کاملComparison of peripheral Ia and corticomotoneuronal composite EPSPs in human motoneurons.
The effects of excitatory inputs arising from Ia afferent and corticomotoneuronal volleys on repetitively firing flexor carpi radialis (FCR) motoneurons were compared in normal human subjects. Peripheral (Ia) volleys were produced by transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the median nerve and by mechanical taps to the FCR tendon. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to activate th...
متن کاملHigh frequency tendon reflexes in the human soleus muscle.
Tendon reflexes have been often used in studies of the human nervous system in health and disease. They have been investigated either in response to single tendon taps or to long duration vibrations. Tendon reflexes are described here in response to a high frequency vibration burst (3 cycles of a 100 Hz sine wave) applied to the Achilles tendon of standing subjects, either in quiet stance or du...
متن کاملThe effect of acetyl l-carnitine on ultrastructure of injured motoneuron synapses in adult rat
Background and Objective: Spinal cord compression is a relatively common neurological complication in developing country. This study was designed to assess neuroprotective effect of acetyl L-carnitine. Materials and Methods: 16 adult Sprague Dawley rats weighing 250 to 300 g were divided into 4 randomized groups, namely, A-laminectomy with daily intraperitoneal injection of acetyl L-carnitine....
