When the participants' hands were still, the muscle spindles reacted strongly to muscle pressure, suggesting that pressure alone is a sufficient stimulus for these receptors.

Assessment of the Potential Role of Muscle Spindle Mechanoreceptor Afferents in Chronic Muscle Pain in the Rat Masseter Muscle. PLoS ONE, 2010; 5 (6): e11131 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0011131; ...

Muscle spindle sensory feedback provides trigger signal for recovery. Limb movement activates sensory feedback loops from the muscle to the spinal cord.
