Effects of ankle and hip muscle afferent inputs on rhythm generation during fictive locomotion.
Hip position and loading of limb extensors are major sensory cues for the initiation and duration of different phases during walking. Although these inputs have pathways projecting to the locomotor rhythm generator, their effects may vary in different parts of the locomotor cycle. In the present study, the plantaris (Pl), sartorius (Sart), rectus femoris (RF), and caudal gluteal (cGlu) nerves w...
متن کاملEvidence for specialized rhythm-generating mechanisms in the adult mammalian spinal cord.
Locomotion and scratch are characterized by alternation of flexion and extension phases within one hindlimb, which are mediated by rhythm-generating circuitry within the spinal cord. By definition, the rhythm generator controls cycle period, phase durations, and phase transitions. The aim was to determine whether rhythm-generating mechanisms for locomotion and scratch are similar in adult decer...
متن کاملStumbling correction reflexes during fictive locomotion
Running title: Stumbling correction reflexes during fictive locomotion. SUMMARY An obstacle contacting the dorsal surface of a cat's hind foot during the swing phase of locomotion evokes a reflex (the stumbling corrective reaction) that lifts the foot and extends the ankle to avoid falling. We show that the same sequence of ipsilateral hindlimb motoneuron activity can be evoked in decerebrate c...
متن کاملStumbling corrective reaction during fictive locomotion in the cat.
An obstacle contacting the dorsal surface of a cat's hind foot during the swing phase of locomotion evokes a reflex (the stumbling corrective reaction) that lifts the foot and extends the ankle to avoid falling. We show that the same sequence of ipsilateral hindlimb motoneuron activity can be evoked in decerebrate cats during fictive locomotion. As recorded in the peripheral nerves, twice thres...
متن کاملEffects of ankle extensor muscle afferent inputs on hip abductor and adductor activity in the decerebrate walking cat.
Electrical stimulation of the lateral gastrocnemius-soleus (LGS) nerve at group I afferent strength leads to adaptations in the amplitude and timing of extensor muscle activity during walking in the decerebrate cat. Such afferent feedback in the stance leg might result from a delay in stance onset of the opposite leg. Concomitant adaptations in hip abductor and adductor activity would then be e...
