Pamela M. Barton, MD, Keith C. Hayes, PhD ABSTRACT. Barton PM, Hayes KC. Neck flexor muscle strength, efficiency, and relaxation times in normal subjects and subjects with unilateral neck pain and headache. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 1996;77:680-7. Objective: To determine the test-retest reliability of a new method for measuring muscular strength, efficiency, and relaxation times …

Is the sagittal configuration of the cervical Spine changed in women with chronic whiplash Syndrome? A comparative computer-assisted Radiographic assessment (Fragment)

Kristjansson, BSc (Manip Ther),a and H. Jo´nsson Jr, MD, PhD Objective: To reveal whether women with chronic whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) symptoms, grade I-II, demonstrate regional and/or segmental radiographic signs of altered cervical lordosis. Design: Case-control study. Setting: Radiography department at a university hospital. Participants: Three age-balanced groups comprising 120 women. The case group included women …

Proprioceptive Coordination of Movement Sequences: Discrimination of Joint Angle Versus Angular Distance (Fragment)

BEVAN, P. CORDO, L. CARLTON, AND M. CARLTON Robert S. Dow Neurological Sciences Institute, Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center, Portland, Oregon 97209 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The purpose of these experiments was to determine the accuracy with which human subjects could discriminate proprioceptive (nonretinotopic) targets during movement. The targets were located at either a specified …

Stumbling reactions in man: significance of proprioceptive and pre-programmed mechanisms (Fragment)

BY V. DIETZ, J. QUINTERN AND M. SILLEM. From the Department of Clinical Neurology and Neurophysiology, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, F.R.G. SUMMARY Electromyogram (e.m.g.) responses of the leg musculature and the corresponding joint movements were studied following a perturbation of the limb during walking on a treadmill, produced by a randomly timed treadmill acceleration impulse, …

Origin and Processing of Postural Information (Fragment)

MITTELSTAEDT. Max-Planck-Institut fu¨r Verhaltensphysiologie, D-82319 Seewiesen, Germany This contribution surveys the sources and the processing of spatial information about posture, that is, about the orientation of the body and its parts with respect to the vertical (whereas ‘position’ designates their orientation to each other). Postural information is, to a considerable extent, gained by sense organs …

Neurophysiological methods for studies of the motor system in freely moving human subjects (Fragment)

Charles Capaday. Centre de recherche en Neurobiologie, Uni6ersite´ La6al, Que´bec City, Canada. Abstract In this paper, the following experimental methods for studies of the motor system in freely moving human subjects will be considered: (i) eliciting the H-reflex and understanding its use as a test response, (ii) methods to measure reciprocal inhibition between antagonist muscles, …
