  1. 1. Classification of muscle stretch receptor afferents in humans

    Författare :Benoni B. Edin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Muscle spindles; Golgi tendon organs; Classification of muscle receptors; Microneurography; Human hand; Stretch sensitization; Voluntary contraction; Static position sensitivity; Fusimotor control;

    Sammanfattning : The response patterns of human stretch receptors in the finger extensor muscles of the forearm were studied using the microneurography technique. Single-unit recordings were obtained from one-hundred and twenty-four afferents. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Discharges in human muscle afferents during manual tasks

    Författare :Michael Dimitriou; Benoni Edin; Roger Lemon; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor control; muscle spindle; Golgi tendon organ; muscle afferent; microneurography; proprioception; sensorimotor; fusimotor; hand; forward model; ; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Muscle spindles are complex sensory organs that have been strongly implicated in the control and perception of movements. Human muscle spindles in relaxed muscles behave as stretch receptors, responding to the length and velocity of their parent muscles. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Context dependent adaptation of biting behavior in human

    Författare :Anders Johansson; Benoni Edin; Karl-Gunnar Westberg; Peter Svensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; EMG; bite force; human; mastication; muscles; jaw opening reflex; motor control; reflex modulation; periodontal attachment loss; periodontitis; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis was to study an action that humans perform regularly, namely, to hold a morsel between the teeth and split it into smaller pieces. Three different issues related to this biting behavior were addressed:  (1) the effect of redu­c­ed perio­dontal tissues on food holding and splitting behavior; (2) the behavioral conse­quences of performing different bite tasks with different functional requirements, i.

  5. 4. Sensorimotor transformations during grasping movements

    Författare :Daniel Säfström; Benoni B. Edin; Melvyn A. Goodale; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sensorimotor transformation; sensory integration; visuomotor map; human physiology; adaptation; grasping; sensory substitution; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : ‘Sensorimotor transformations’ are processes whereby sensory information is used to generate motor commands. One example is the ‘visuomotor map’ that transforms visual information about objects to motor commands that activates various muscles during grasping movements. LÄS MER
