The two sensory branches of the superficial peroneal nerve: electrophysiological differences and correlations with gender, age, height and BMI.

21 Jul 2009 AIMS OF THE STUDY: To detect amplitude differences between the sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP) obtained by simultaneous recording of the two main branches of the superficial peroneal sensory nerve (SPSN), the medial and intermediate dorsal ... Read more...

Frequency-dependent modulation of muscle sympathetic nerve activity by sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation in human subjects.

5 Jul 2009 We have previously demonstrated that selective modulation of vestibular inputs, via sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) delivered at 0.5-0.8 Hz, can cause partial entrainment of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). Given that we ... Read more...

Effects of a complex balance task on soleus H-reflex and presynaptic inhibition in humans.

29 Jun 2009 Spinal modulation of motoneuron excitability has been extensively investigated during various tasks in humans. Previous studies have revealed that balance tasks induce a decrease in Ia-motoneuron communication which has been attributed to increased ... Read more...
