The effects of tonic muscle pain on the sympathetic and somatic motor systems in humans
Mechanisms underlying the development of chronic muscle pain in humans remain unknown. Our current understanding is principally based on experimentation in animals, which has resulted in the formulation of a multitude of theories and physiological models to postulate these mechanisms in humans. The …

Review of recent morphological findings on the neuromuscular spindle
… performed concerning the morphology of the muscle spindle, however no paper giving a comprehensive and vivid picture of the mammalian muscle spindle has been published during this period. The purpose of this review is to present the most recent morphological findings on the mammalian …

Whole-Body Vibration and Its Effects on Electromechanical Delay and Vertical Jump Performance
… suggests that the WBV treatment did not enhance muscle spindle sensitivity.

Effects of altered sensory input from the neck on cerebellar function, body schema and sensorimotor integration
Neck muscles have a high density of muscle spindle afferents and their input is critical for formulating the perception of head position relative to the body. Chronic alterations in afferent input from the neck may be studied in individuals with subclinical neck pain (SCNP), defined as non-severe …

Vulnerability of ex vivo α-motor nerve terminals to hypoxia-reperfusion injury.
… system was generated in which ex vivo skeletal muscle preparations could be maintained in an hypoxic environment, at an O2 concentration below in vivo normoxic values (<0.25% O2), for 2hr followed by 2hr reperfusion (2H-2R). Using this model system combined with quantitative assessment of …

Investigation of differences in cortical activation during wrist flexion and extension performed under real, passive and motor imagined paradigms
… pathways play, and to what degree other factors (muscle force activation, sensory feedback, frequency of movement, structural and/or functional differences) might influence the cortical activation in the brain. It has been speculated that the difference in cortical muscular pathways is due to …

Sensory re-weighting for balance control and the effects of ankle foot orthoses and stance width: A comparison of people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and healthy participants
… Postural stability and the response to selective muscle vibration that stimulates muscle spindle afferents was measured by 3D motion analysis. Study 1 investigated the effects of stance width and AFOs on postural sway and the response to selective hip proprioception stimulation induced by …

Pax3 expression in satellite cells of avian skeletal muscle spindles during normal development and with experimental muscle overload
… embryonic somites, which gives rise to skeletal muscle. Following myogenesis, Pax3 expression is mostly down-regulated and becomes restricted to a few satellite cells (SCs) of select mature muscles. SCs are activated to form new myonuclei during muscle hypertrophy, regeneration and repair. …

Vibration as a method for muscular stimulation
… training (WBVT) aims to mechanically activate muscles by eliciting neuromuscular activity (muscle reflexes) via the use of vibrations delivered to the whole body. The most mentioned mechanism to explain the neuromuscular outcomes of vibration is the elicited neuromuscular activation. Local …
