Doubt about the role of stretch reflexes in movement and posture control has remained in part because the questions of reflex "usefulness" and the postural "set" have not been adequately considered in the design of experimental paradigms. The intent of this study was to discover the stabilizing role

## Abstract Scaling of posturally stabilizing long latency (LL) reflexes in tibialis anterior muscles induced by βtoeβupβ rotational perturbations is abnormal in standing patients with Parkinson's disease. To investigate the contribution of dopaminergic pathways to abnormal scaling, we studied LL r
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is under adaptive control which corrects VOR performance when visual-vestibular mismatch arises during head movements. However, the dynamic characteristics of VOR adaptive plasticity remain controversial. In this study, eye movements (coil technique) were recorded f
