## Abstract Patients with writer's cramp have two well‐recognized neurophysiological abnormalities: reduced reciprocal inhibition of the wrist flexor motoneurons at rest, and increased cocontraction of antagonist muscles of the forearm during voluntary activity. In this article we present evidence

The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of load mechanical characteristics and agonist-antagonist muscle cocontraction, on the stretch reflex response of wrist flexor muscles, and to measure the associated wrist stiffness. Subjects were required to maintain a constant wrist angle wh
Adjustment of arm posture associated with rapid wrist movements was studied by EMG analysis. Seven healthy adults, seated and holding their right arm with the shoulder in a neutral position with the elbow in 90 degrees flexion and the wrist position neutral, were instructed to flex or extend the wri
## Abstract The main scope of this study was to test the feasibility and reliability of FES in a MR‐environment. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is used in the rehabilitation therapy of patients after stroke or spinal cord injury to improve their motor abilities. Its principle lies in apply
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of distal radial shortening on muscle length and moment arm of the wrist flexors and extensors. In eight cadaveric upper extremities, distal radius fractures were simulated by an ostectomy. The distal radius was progressively shorten
