In addition to being a prerequisite for many activities of daily living, the ability to maintain
steady upright standing is a relevant model to study sensorimotor integrative function …

There continues to be great interest in evaluating the adaptive plasticity of the human
nervous system in response to exercise training or other interventions. For various reasons …

The present review examines the experimental evidence supporting the existence of central
mechanisms able to modulate the synaptic effectiveness of sensory fibers ending in the …

Purpose: To review the literature concerning neurophysiological methods to assess
spasticity with respect to mechanisms and methodology, and to describe the three most …

1. Presynaptic inhibition of soleus muscle Ia afferent fibres, produced by stimulation of group
I afferents in the common peroneal nerve, was assessed from changes in the H reflex at long …

Studies are reviewed, predominantly involving healthy humans, on gain changes in spinal
reflexes and supraspinal ascending paths during passive and active leg movement. The …

The influence of different static postures on the soleus H reflex was assessed in 15 old
(mean age= 76.3 years) and 10 young (mean age= 24.2 years) subjects. H reflex and M …

Research in movement science aims at unravelling mechanisms and designing methods for
restoring and maximizing human functional capacity, and many techniques provide access …

The authors investigated the effect of physical exercise on reflex excitability in a controlled
intervention study. Healthy participants (N= 21) performed 4 weeks of either power training …
