Group III and IV muscle afferents: Role on central motor drive and clinical implications

Highlights • The group III and IV muscle afferents are determinant for motor unit control. • Such afferents could partially explain the motor/autonomic deficits after traumas. • Recent evidence on metabosensitive fiber functions needs to be clarified. • Understanding these afferent actions may help...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The group III and IV muscle afferents are determinant for motor unit control. • Such afferents could partially explain the motor/autonomic deficits after traumas. • Recent evidence on metabosensitive fiber functions needs to be clarified. • Understanding these afferent actions may help therapists for choosing exercises.
