The Golgi tendon organ: a review and update.
نویسنده
چکیده
This article presents current information concerning (a) the structural relationships of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) with different types of extrafusal muscle fibers; (b) the Gp.Ib reafferent or feedback fibers from the GTO; (c) the way in which these proprioceptors monitor muscle tension and function in parallel processing with other receptors and with the central control mechanisms of the nervous system; and (d) how GTO's are involved in regulating autogenic excitation, autogenic inhibition, or co-contraction of extrafusal muscle fibers.

T he Hip-Abduction, KneeExtension Orthosis (HA, KE) is designed to aid in preventing or correcting deformities in spastic hip abductor and hamstring muscles when stretching and exercise do not suffice. Spasticity in this group of muscles is not uncommon in paraplegia or in other selected diseases of the central nervous system-for example, in multiple sclerosis. The orthosis consists of bila ter...
متن کاملMathematical models of proprioceptors. II. Structure and function of the Golgi tendon organ.
We developed a physiologically realistic mathematical model of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) whose elements correspond to anatomical features of the biological receptor. The mechanical interactions of these elements enable it to capture all salient aspects of GTO afferent behavior reported in the literature. The model accurately describes the GTO's static and dynamic responses to activation of s...

Proprioceptors provide the central nervous system (CNS) with the feedback information required to compute body posture and to regulate muscle activation accurately during ongoing movement. A large amount of proprioceptive information arrives at the CNS from diverse receptors distributed among muscles, tendons and joints, raising the question of how such information is encoded, combined and used...
