Constancy of Preparatory Postural Adjustments for Reaching to Virtual Targets across Different Postural Configurations

Alexander Stamenkovic et al.

Summary: The study found that preparatory postural muscle activity does not significantly change even with modifications to the quality of the base of support during reaching from a standing position, suggesting that it is not tuned for balance maintenance but rather for voluntary movement towards a predefined location.

Goal-dependent tuning of muscle spindle receptors during movement preparation

Stylianos Papaioannou et al.

Summary: During preparation for voluntary movements, goal-dependent modulation reduces human muscle afferent activity and also adjusts stretch reflex gains in shoulder and upper arm muscles. Central preparatory activity plays a role in tuning muscle stiffness through independent control of muscle spindle sensors based on task goals.
