The activity of most motoneurons controlling one-joint muscles during locomotion are locked to either extensor or flexor phase of locomotion. In contrast, bifunctional motoneurons, controlling two-joint muscles such as posterior biceps femoris and semitendinosus (PBSt) or rectus femoris (RF), express a variety of activity patterns including firing bursts during both locomotor phases, which may ...
Magnocellular (RNm) and parvicellular (RNp) divisions of the cat red nucleus (RN) project to the cervical spinal cord. RNp projects more heavily to upper cervical levels and RNm projects more heavily to lower levels. The cells in RN are active during reaching and grasping, and the differences in termination suggest that the divisions influence different musculature during this behavior. However...
Background. A review of the literature indicates that exercises strengthening the dorsal extensor muscles occupy a significant place in the program of posture reeducation. These exercises are usually performed in positions other than vertical. It has not been proven, however, that the strength of these muscles in children with scoliosis is insufficient to hold the spine in an upright position. ...
Mammalian locomotor programs are thought to be directed by the actions of spinal interneuron circuits collectively referred to as "central pattern generators." The contribution of proprioceptive sensory feedback to the coordination of locomotor activity remains less clear. We have analyzed changes in mouse locomotor pattern under conditions in which proprioceptive feedback is attenuated genetic...
We report a case of a 69-year-old man with dropped head syndrome associated with isolated neck extensor myopathy (INEM). Over a period of 2 years, he exhibited progressive inability to lift his chin off his chest, resulting in the dropped head position that impaired his activities of daily living. He had a disturbed gait with severe imbalance of spinal alignment. Computed tomography revealed os...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is used as a noninvasive tool to modulate brain excitability in humans. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that tDCS applied over the motor cortex also modulates spinal neural network excitability and therefore can be used to explore the corticospinal control acting on spinal neurons. Previously, we showed that reciprocal inhibition direct...
Locomotor and reflex adaptation after partial denervation of ankle extensors in chronic spinal cats.
This work investigates the capacity of the spinal cord to generate locomotion after a complete spinal section and its ability to adapt its locomotor pattern after a peripheral nerve lesion. To study this intrinsic adaptive capacity, the left lateral gastrocnemius-soleus (LGS) nerve was sectioned in three cats that expressed a stable locomotion following a complete spinal transection. The electr...
We investigated how corticospinal excitability of the resting digit muscles was modulated by the digit movement in the ipsilateral limb. Subjects performed cyclical extension-flexion movements of either the right toes or fingers. To determine whether corticospinal excitability of the resting digit muscles was modulated on the basis of movement direction or action coupling between ipsilateral di...
Introduction: Prolonged sitting with awkward posture and long working hours are the predisposing factors for developing Mechanical Low Back Pain (LBP) in IT professionals. Poor dynamic trunk extension performance is associated back-related permanent work disability recurrence of LBP. The purpose this study was to find analyze effect spinal Extension exercises on from home Methods: In comparativ...
Individuals with C5/C6 spinal cord injury have paralyzed elbow extensors, yet retain weak to strong voluntary control of elbow flexion and shoulder function. Previous studies have shown that functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the triceps provides sufficient elbow extension strength and control to greatly improve function. With triceps stimulation applied at a constant level, elbow angle...
