A damping factor in human voluntary contraction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experiments on patients with Parkinsonism showed that the damping factor was lowered, so that, a tension stimulus being without supraspinal effect, oscillation occurred.

Introduction: In this study we compared transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) elicited motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in a postural (bilateral low back extension: BLBE) and a respiratory (forced expiration during breath holding: FEBH) task.Methods: Using TMS of the left motor cortex, simultaneous patterns of corticospinal facilitation of the contralateral erector spinae (ES) and rectus abdomi...
متن کاملThe effect of 4-weeks voluntary exercise on separation anxiety disorder in rats
Background: Separation anxiety is the most common anxiety disorder in children. The neglected treatment of this disorder at early ages may be a risk factor for other childhood and adult psychological disorders. The early years of life are considered to be one of the most critical stages of human development and any physical or psychological damage will cause the effects on sustainability in oth...
متن کاملInvestigation of Thermoelastic Damping in the Longitudinal Vibration of a Micro Beam
In the design of high Quality factor (Q) micro or nano beam resonators, different dissipation mechanisms may have damaging effects on the quality factor. One of the major dissipation mechanisms is the thermoelastic damping (TED) that needs an accurate consideration for prediction. In this paper, thermoelastic damping of the longitudinal vibration of a homogeneous micro beam with both ends clamp...
