متن کاملRecruitment by size and principle of least action
The size principle implies that the motoneurons of a muscle pool are activated in ascending order of their sizes when that pool of motoneurons receives a common, increasing input. We suggest a simple discrete Lagrangian for an isometrically contracting skeletal muscle. Minimizing the time integral of this Lagrangian leads to recruitment of motor units according to increasing size.
متن کاملThe effects of vertebral column tripolar electrical stimulation with various intensities on soleus and gastrocnemius H-reflex and Mh wave recruitment curve
Abstract: To assess the effect of penetration depth of the surface tripolar electrical stimulation, Tripolar TENS was applied with different intensities (equal to sensory threshold (ST), 1.25 ST, 1.5 ST) on vertebral column of twenty healthy and three hemiplegic subjects. The cathode of TENS was laid on the T11 vertebra and anodes were put 3cm apart from cathode, longitudinally and in the anod...
متن کاملRecruitment of cat motoneurons in the absence of homonymous afferent feedback.
This study provides the first test in vivo of the hypothesis that group Ia muscle-stretch afferents aid in preventing reversals in the orderly recruitment of motoneurons. This hypothesis was tested by studying recruitment of motoneurons deprived of homonymous afferent input. Recruitment order was measured in decerebrate, paralyzed cats from dual intra-axonal records obtained simultaneously from...
متن کاملVarious explanations of the size principle
The size principle consists in the activation of motoneurons of a muscle pool in ascending order of their sizes when that pool of motoneurons receives a common, increasing input. This technical report is a survey of possible explanations of the size principle for recruitment of motor units. As a pre-study for further works, we collected existing explanations, suggested some new ones and collect...
