How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the ...

This was to test the stretch reflexes in your spinal cord, which resist muscle stretching to give you muscle tone to hold your body up against gravity for example, fast corrections after tripping.

This response generated by the spinal cord is called a 'stretch reflex,' and has previously been thought to be very limited in terms of how it helps movement.

It has been hypothesized that the rapid stretch of the periarticular muscles and connective tissue associated with SM causes the reduction in spinal reflexes; [17, 18] however, to our knowledge no ...

A training regimen to adjust the body's motor reflexes may help improve mobility for some people with incomplete spinal cord injuries, according to a new study.

This response generated by the spinal cord is called a ‘stretch reflex,’ and has previously been thought to be very limited in terms of how it helps movement. “Historically, it was believed these ...
