This is a review of the proprioceptive senses generated as a result of our own actions. They
include the senses of position and movement of our limbs and trunk, the sense of effort, the …

In eccentric exercise the contracting muscle is forcibly lengthened; in concentric exercise it
shortens. While concentric contractions initiate movements, eccentric contractions slow or …

This review of kinaesthesia, the senses of limb position and limb movement, has been
prompted by recent new observations on the role of motor commands in position sense …

Evidence is provided for a mechanical event as the first step in the process leading to
muscle damage after a series of eccentric contractions. Aspects discussed include the …

The term thixotropy comes from the Greek words' thixis' meaning touch and'tropos' meaning
transformation. It is applied to substances which change their physical properties as a result …

The role of muscle afferents is discussed in terms of their contribution to kinesthesia, the
senses of position and movement of the limbs. It is argued that muscle spindles are not well …

This review discusses the role of muscle receptors, in particular, that of muscle spindles, in
the detection of movements, both passive and active. Emphasis is placed on the importance …

The role of afferent inflow and efferent outflow (or command) signals in judgements of limb
position has been debated for over a century. One way to assess this is to check for changes …
