Abstract:

The stretch reflex is an involuntary contraction produced in response to muscle stretch. Despite extensive research, its role in the control of movement and posture remains controversial. One reason for this is that the torque output produced by reflex activity has been studied in only a limited number of tasks and behaviours. The main thrust of this thesis is to examine whether the central nervous system (CNS) modifies stretch reflex properties to suit the task.<br>An electro-hydraulic actuator applied perturbations to the ankles of five subjects while they performed position-matching (PM) an

Abstract:

Previous studies of the human stretch reflex have been limited by difficulties separating the reflex response from those due to passive and intrinsic joint properties. This study has presented and experimentally verified a method for separately determining these contributions to the human ankle response, and used this technique to assess the reflex contribution to joint dynamics during the application of a stochastic position perturbation. Although this method was applied to the human ankle, it is readily applicable to any intact joint.<br>The results of this analysis showed that most of the n

Abstract:

The role of the monosynaptic stretch reflex in the realm of human motor activity has been controversial for many years. A non-linear parallel-cascade system identification technique was recently developed to non-invasively elucidate the ankle reflex dynamics. Identification of these dynamics requires the application of stochastic signals to the ankle joint. The stretch reflex is known to be highly modulated and attenuated during on-going cyclical movements and passively applied perturbations. The aim of this study was to investigate these effects.<br>The stretch reflex gain was found to decrea

Abstract:

An estimated 23,000 ankle injuries occur every day in the U.S. Ankle sprains account for 85% of all ankle injuries and inversion ankle sprains account for 85% of all ankle sprains. There is growing evidence that suggests gender and fatigue may increase the risk for inversion ankle sprains. Investigating the effects of fatigue and gender on peroneal reflex response after ankle inversion may help explain the differences in sprain rates with fatigue and gender. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of fatigue and gender on peroneus brevis and peroneus longus reflexes

Abstract:

Muscle fatigue may be defined as any exercise-related reduction in the force-generating capacity of a muscle. Its effect on joint stiffness is not well understood. The purpose of this study was: (1) to characterize triceps surae muscle fatigue, and (2) to determine its effect on the dynamic stiffness of the ankle joint. To address the first question, subjects were asked to maintain constant, submaximal, isometric contractions at levels ranging from 10--50% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) for as long as they could. Position, torque, and electromyograph (EMG) signals were recorded. EMGs f

Abstract:

Spinal cord injury (SCI) manifests signs of spasticity, plantar flexor (PF) hyperreflexia and ankle clonus, and deficits in motor function. In individuals with motor-incomplete SCI (MISCI), ankle clonus may limit independent walking function. Ankle clonus is attributed to enhanced soleus stretch reflex (SSR) excitability due to decreased supraspinal input and maladaptive reorganization of spinal reflex circuitry. We explored these questions: 1. What are the biomechanical, clinical, and neurophysiologic correlates of ankle clonus? 2. Does locomotor training improve ankle clonus and walking

Neste trabalho apresentamos uma nova técnica para a medida da rotação da polarização da luz por uma substância que possui atividade óptica. O sistema utiliza um LED, dois polarizadores, um prisma de vidro semicilíndrico, uma cubeta, uma CCD e um computador para análise de dados. Luz proveniente do LED passa pelo primeiro polarizador, cujo eixo de transmissão se encontra a 45°, e incide no prisma pelo lado semicilíndrico, ocorrendo reflexão na sua base, num ângulo próximo do ângulo crítico. Devido ao tamanho finito do feixe e o formato curvo da superfície do prisma, vários ângulos de incidê

Abstract:

Previous research investigating the stability of the ankle joint complex may be categorised into two methodological groups, employing either an actuator to perturb the limb, or a form of standing balance disturbance such as a tilting platform, both of which test the joint in single degree of freedom (DOF). The aim of this thesis was to investigate how we control foot position and stabilise the joint when there is potential for movement in three DOF. A secondary aim of the thesis was to model the intrinsic mechanical properties of the ankle joint complex in three dimensions when coupled movemen

Abstract:

This thesis developed new pupillometry paradigms to objectively measure melanopsin function in humans with healthy or diseased eyes. It was determined that melanopsin function is independent of age and refractive error. The novel quadrant field pupil protocols detected melanopsin dysfunction in the very early stages of glaucoma (in suspects) when it is difficult to detect visual dysfunction with conventional ophthalmic tests. The outcomes advance understanding of melanopsin function in humans and introduce optimised pupillometry protocols for translation to clinical settings to guide treatment

We examined two different positions of the foot in probands lying on the bed on their stomach. The first position was with the feet out of bed, around 90 degrees at the ankle joint (rest position). At the second position, the foot moved the bed and was i

The presented doctoral research was aimed at preparation and characterization of ultra thin polymer films on solid substrates using different physical techniques. Each of these physical techniques probes selectively different characteristics of the films. While some of the techniques are strong in the predetermination of some unique properties of the layers, they might be limited and give no specific/conclusive information about some other important characteristics. Therefore, only the combination of the techniques provides a profound picture of the thickness, architecture, composition and fun
