This study of movements of the hind limb of the dog was performed with the aid of cinephotography and electromyography. The weights of the limb segments and their centers of gravity were determined. From these data the forces operating at the centers of the limb segments during a cycle of a stride h
The excitability of hindlimb extensor and flexor motoneurons is tonically modulated by animal tilt and a large visual stimulus rotating about the animal's line of sight. This direction-specific modulation is opposite for extensor and flexor motoneurons and opposite for optokinetic and vestibular sti
It has been suggested that periodic leg movements (PLM) and spinal flexor reflex (FR) share common mechanisms. Although dopaminergic agents improve PLM in humans and strongly influence spinal FR circuitry in animal studies, its effects on FR have not been documented in humans. We describe a 65-year-
