Abstract: | The conventional notion that peripheral muscle-related signals provide the basis for resistance to external perturbations is no longer sufficient. Proprioceptive information seems to be required for spatial steering of multi-joint movements, and also for temporal coordination among the joints in certain tasks. In rhythmic movements, peripheral and centrally generated signals appear to interact in a complementary manner. The complex effects of proprioceptive afferents on motor output continue to be delineated vigorously. Global effects of local perturbation in multi-joint contexts are emerging as being particularly significant. |
