Contraction-dependent intracortical inhibition supports gravity-efficient motor control

2021-06-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Efficient control of voluntary movements along the gravity axis requires adapted shifts in muscular contraction modes. In daily life, rising the arm up involves shortening (i.e., concentric) contractions of arm flexors, while the reverse movement can rely on lengthening (i.e., eccentric) contractions of the same muscles with the help of gravity force. Although this muscular-control mode is unive...
