The present review is focused on neural mechanisms responsible of group III and IV muscle
afferent actions on central motor drive during physical exercise in both healthy and …

Introduction After transection of the medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus (MCLT+
MMT) in the rat, focal cartilage lesions develop over 4–6 weeks; however, sham surgery …

Background Altered sensory information arising from damaged knee joint structures has
been hypothesized as a contributing factor to persistent muscle dysfunction following injury …

The literature suggests that a Grade II medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury in combination
with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury will heal naturally and not compromise patient …

The aim of this study was to identify the effect of chemical activation of muscle
metabosensitive afferent fibers from groups III and IV on Hoffmann (H‐) reflex modulation in …

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the function of the joint of patient suffering
from knee osteoarthritis. However, postoperative functional deficits are reported even after a …

Hoffmann (H‐) reflex amplitudes in plantar flexor soleus muscle are modulated by posture,
yet dorsiflexor tibialis anterior (TA) H‐reflex parameters have sparingly been studied. The …

Functional and Neuromuscular Changes after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture in Rats …

Purpose Medial collateral ligament (MCL) rupture of the knee joint frequently occurs during
sport activities. However, the optimal rehabilitation strategy after such lesion is unknown …

This study was designed to investigate effects of motor denervation by Clostridium botulinum
toxin serotype A (BoNT/A) on the afferent activity of fibers originating from the gastrocnemius …
