To investigate the effect of local excitation of nociceptive muscle afferents on the spatial distribution of muscle activity. ⋯ The study furnishes an extension of the pain adaptation model indicating heterogeneous inhibition of muscle activity.
-
The objective of the study was to investigate the sensitivity of the nociceptive withdrawal reflex to stimulation of different locations on the sole of the foot during hemiplegic gait. ⋯ The results have potential application in programs to rehabilitate hemiplegic gait.
-
To study the reliability and validity of resting electrical activity from tender areas in muscle. ⋯ Our data provide evidence for the reliability and validity of the electrical activity from myofascial tender areas.
