Selective bilateral activation of leg muscles after cutaneous nerve stimulation during 1 backward walking 2 3
26 During human locomotion, cutaneous reflexes have been suggested to function to 27 preserve balance. Specifically, cutaneous reflexes in the contralateral leg’s muscles (with 28 respect to the stimulus) were suggested to play an important role in maintaining stability 29 during locomotor tasks where stability is threatened. We used backward walking (BW) as a 30 paradigm to induce unstable gai...
متن کاملLeft-hemisphere-dominant SII activation after bilateral median nerve stimulation.
We used bilateral median nerve stimuli to find out possible hemispheric dominance in the activation of the second somatosensory cortex, SII. Somatosensory evoked fields (SEFs) were recorded from 14 healthy adults (7 right-handed, 7 left-handed) with a 306-channel neuromagnetometer. Electrical stimuli were applied once every 3 s simultaneously either to the left and right median nerves at the wr...
متن کاملForward and backward arm cycling are regulated by equivalent neural mechanisms.
It was shown some time ago that cutaneous reflexes were phase-reversed when comparing forward and backward treadmill walking. Activity of central-pattern-generating networks (CPG) regulating neural activity for locomotion was suggested as a mechanism involved in this "program reversal." We have been investigating the neural control of arm movements and the role for CPG mechanisms in regulating ...
متن کاملAdaptive control for backward quadrupedal walking V. Mutable activation of bifunctional thigh muscles.
1. In this, the fifth article in a series to assess changes in posture, hindlimb dynamics, and muscle synergies associated with backward (BWD) quadrupedal walking, we compared the recruitment of three biarticular muscles of the cat's anterior thigh (anterior sartorius, SAa; medial sartorius, SAm; rectus femoris, RF) for forward (FWD) and BWD treadmill walking. Electromyography (EMG) records fro...
متن کاملContext-dependent modulation of cutaneous reflex amplitudes during forward and backward leg cycling.
We used amplitude modulation of cutaneous reflexes during leg cycling as a paradigm to investigate neural control mechanisms regulating forward (FWD) and backward (BWD) rhythmic limb movement. Our prediction was a simple reversal of reflex modulation during BWD leg cycling and context-dependent reflex modulation. Cutaneous reflexes were evoked by electrical stimulation delivered to the superfic...
