摘要:This study describes the effects of restraint for sensory receptors on qualitative factors of movement behavior. Subjects were ordered to extend quickly their knees with the leg pulled by 0- or 5-kg load, and the reaction time of the musculus rectus femoris was measured. MT was elongated, while the latent period of PMT was shortened by the traction of 5-kg load. This suggests that the knee traction may have the facilitation effect on prior central nerve system, resulting in smooth initiation of the movement.
