Gravity-efficient motor control is associated with contraction-dependent intracortical inhibition
Summary: In humans, moving efficiently along the gravity axis requires shifts in muscular contraction modes. Raising the arm up involves shortening contractions of arm flexors, whereas the reverse movement can rely on lengthening contractions with the help of gravity. Although this control mode is u...
