Frequency response characteristics of a multi-loop representation of the segmental muscle stretch reflex.

Abstract:

:This paper continues the investigation of a three-loop representation of the segmental muscle stretch reflex system introduced in a preceding communication. Frequency response characteristics were computed for open-loop conditions, control and disturbance signal inputs under a variety of conditions: (i) "in parallel" and "in series" peripheral arrangements of muscle compartments, (ii) various patterns of central connectivity, (iii) various recruitment levels of motor units, (iv) various overall reflex gains, (v) absence or presence of muscle spindle acceleration sensitivity. These computations disclose a number of mechanisms by which the nervous system might improve system stability and behaviour. These mechanisms are discussed with regard to physiological data.
