Impedance control reduces instability that arises from motor noise.
5 Oct 2009 
There is ample evidence that humans are able to control the endpoint impedance of their arms in response to active destabilizing force fields. However, such fields are uncommon in daily life. Here, we examine whether the CNS selectively controls the ... Read more...
Characterization of a novel C8 phasic muscle stretch reflex.
29 Sep 2009 Muscle stretch reflexes (MSRs) are fundamental to the neurologic examination. Although the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical roots have appropriate and easily elicited MSRs, the C8 level does not. The C8 reflex is obtained by tapping the thenar ... Read more...
19 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of upper limb effort on maximal lower limb muscle activation in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. METHODS: Fifteen individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury performed recumbent stepping using ... Read more...
