Spinal reflex is essential to the robust locomotion of quadruped animals. To investigate the reflex mechanisms, we developed a quadruped robot platform that emulates the neuromuscular dynamics of ...

Objective: To characterize how, following a stretch-induced attenuation, volitional muscle activation impacts stretch reflex activity in individuals with stroke. Methods: A robotic device rotated the ...

LONG survival of patients with complete severance of the spinal cord is rarely encountered in civilian life. During the recent world conflict, however, the high incidence of casualties from ...

LONDON. Royal Society, November 1.—E. G. T. Liddell and Sir Charles Sherrington: A comparison between certain features of the spinal flexor reflex and of the decerebrate extensor reflex respectively.

Abstract: This study examined the effect of different joint angle on the sensitivity of short- and long-latency stretch reflex responses in ankle flexor and ankle extensor muscles. The B-mode echo ...
