Ten young men sustained an isometric contraction of the knee extensor muscles at 20% of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) torque on three separate occasions in a seated posture. Subjects performed an isometric knee extension contraction on a fourth occasion in a supine posture. The time to task failure for the seated posture was similar across sessions (291 +/- 84 s; P > 0.05), and the MV...
Frequency of firing and regularity of discharge of human motor units, and short term synchrony between pairs of motor units, have been assessed in extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles in control subjects and in clinically complete paraplegic subjects. The discharge pattern of TA motor units in paraplegia ranged from extremely regular to very irregular for differe...
BACKGROUND Changes in activation of the trunk and hip extensor muscles can result in excessive stress on the lumbar spinal structures, predisposing them to lesions and pain. OBJECTIVES To compare electromyographic activity of the gluteus maximus, semitendinosus and the erector spinae muscles between asymptomatic and individuals with low back pain during active prone hip extension exercises. ...
Following initial spinal cord injury (SCI), a cascade of pathological events, including oxidative stress, leads to secondary injury. Glutathione (GSH) plays a critical role in oxidant scavenging. Maintenance of GSH concentrations after SCI lessens secondary injury and improves recovery. Since glutamine promotes GSH synthesis, this nonessential amino acid was examined for therapeutic potential. ...
Musculoskeletal disorders which are introduced with back pain are now the most common cause of chronic incapacity in industrialized countries. One of the important causes of low back pain is, spinal instability. A recent focus in the physiotherapy management of patients with back pain has been the active spinal stabilization exercises of muscles surrounding the spine considered to provi...
Spinal reflexes are modified by spinal cord injury (SCI) due the loss of excitatory inputs from supraspinal structures and changes within the spinal cord. The stretch reflex is one of the simplest pathways of the central nervous system and was used presently to evaluate how inputs from primary and secondary muscle spindles interact with spinal circuits before and after spinal transection (i.e.,...
BACKGROUND Although non-specific pain in the upper limb muscles of workers engaged in mild repetitive tasks is a common occupational health problem, much is unknown about the associated structural and biochemical changes. In this study, we compared the muscle energy metabolism of the extrinsic finger extensor musculature in instrumentalists suffering from work-related pain with that of healthy ...
Understanding how nervous systems generate behavior requires understanding how muscles transform neural input into movement. The stick insect extensor tibiae muscle is an excellent system in which to study this issue because extensor motor neuron activity is highly variable during single leg walking and extensor muscles driven with this activity produce highly variable movements. We showed earl...
We have developed a neuromechanical computational model of cat hindlimb locomotion controlled by spinal central pattern generators (CPGs, one per hindlimb) and motion-dependent afferent feedback. Each CPG represents an extension of previously developed two-level model (Rybak et al. J Physiol 577:617–639, 2006a, J Physiol 577:641–658, 2006b) and includes a half-center rhythm generator (RG), gene...
