The aim of this study was to analyze electromyography (EMG) responses of vastus lateralis muscle to different whole-body vibration frequencies. For this purpose, 16 professional women volleyball players (age, 23.9 +/- 3.6 years; height, 182.5 +/- 11.1 cm; weight, 78.4 +/- 5.6 kg) voluntarily participated in the study. Vibration treatment was administered while standing on a vibrating platform w...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the flexor/extensor ratio of the knee joints and compare it with the results of Korean Air Force students in G-tolerance test. [Subjects and Methods] The body composition of Korea Air Force students (n=77) was measured by an impedance method. A muscular function test was performed using a Humac Norm (USA) at angular speeds of 60°/sec and 240°/sec a...

Subretinal injection is widely used in gene therapy research on age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. We investigated a method of the maximum feasible volume for subretinal injections rats monkeys to support future studies evaluation new therapies these animals. Physiological saline was injected subretinally into eyes male adult (n = 3 eyes/group) cynomolgus eyes/group). Th...

Introduction: Although formalin-induced activity in primary afferent fibers and spinal dorsal ‎horn is well described, the midbrain neural basis underlying each phase of behavior in ‎formalin test has not been clarified. The present study was designed to investigate the nucleus ‎cuneiformis (CnF)‎‏ ‏neuronal responses during two phases after subcutaneous injection of ‎formalin into the hind paw...

In this paper, we outline the relevant topics of neural control for locomotion (Sec. 2), focusing on the functional significance of the CPG network in this context (Sec. 3). By employing a computational modeling approach (Sec. 4), we develop a simulation model (Sec. 5) and outline possible comparison strategies with human data (Sec. 6), aiming to gain further insights of spinal neural circuit m...
