Abstract: Muscle conditioning is a protocol that systematically alters the level of resting discharge of muscle spindle afferents, resulting in a relatively high or low muscle spindle afferent discharge. Previous studies have shown that this protocol… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00222895.2025.2523441
Abstract: Abstract Optokinetic stimulation (OKS) induces visual-vestibular conflict, influencing postural stability. Virtual reality (VR)-based OKS provides an immersive alternative to conventional screen-based OKS, potentially enhancing vestibular rehabilitation. This study investigated the effects of VR-based OKS on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15389588.2024.2370880
Abstract: Abstract Objective Bracing can reduce adult occupants’ out-of-position postures, but it is unclear if this finding can be extended to child occupants. We investigated the effect of bracing, and age on the motion of vehicle… read more here.

Voluntary suppression of neck reflexes during passive head-on-trunk rotations: reflex gain control versus proprioceptive feedback

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00297.2021
Abstract: Normal subjects can completely eliminate resistance upon imposed head-on-trunk rotations when they are asked to relax. It is not, however, clear how neck reflexes to stretch can be voluntarily suppressed. Reflexive responses might be modified… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2021.774448
Abstract: The contribution of cervical proprioception, vision, and vestibular feedback to the dynamic head–trunk orientation error in the yaw direction was investigated to further the understanding over the mechanism of coordination among different sensory modalities for… read more here.
