Ankle clonus and soleus medium-latency reflex are stretch-induced responses. Clonus is traditionally considered to be the result of oscillation in the group Ia mediated spinal stretch reflex but the soleus medium-latency reflex response originates mainly from the activation of group II afferents.

Complementary spatial and timing control in rhythmic arm movements Nickl, Robert W.; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Cowan, Noah J. (American Physiological Society, 2019-04-01) Volitional rhythmic motor behaviors such as limb cycling and locomotion exhibit spatial and timing regularity. Such rhythmic movements are executed in the presence of exogenous visual and nonvisual cues, and previous studies have shown the pivotal role that vision plays in guiding spatial and temporal regulation. However, the influence of nonvisual information conveyed through auditory or touch sensory pathways, and its effect on control, remains poorly understood. To characterize the function of nonvisual ...
Vibration measurements predict the mechanical properties of human tibia Bediz, Bekir; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Korkusuz, Feza (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) Background: Vibration analysis is a promising technique in diagnosing metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and monitoring fracture healing. The aim of this study is to observe the structural dynamic property changes of the tibia extracted from the vibration analysis data.
Elbow but not knee joint kinematics can be assessed using photogrammetric methods during a non-stationary slap shot in ice hockey GÖKTEPE, AYHAN; Ozfidan, Isil; KARABÖRK, HAKAN; Korkusuz, Feza (2010-02-04) In this study, elbow and knee joint kinematics of the non stationary ice hockey slap shot was investigated using photogrammetric methods. Four right handed elite Turkish ice hockey players from various teams participated in the study in order to scientifically obtain a general description of elbow and knee joint kinematics during a non-stationary slap shot. The loading, contact and follow through phases were analyzed using a dual camera and Pictran software system. The results showed an elbow angle pattern ...
Aromatase and C/EBP expression after global ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat hippocampus Kelicen, P.; Burul-Bozkurt, N.; Cincioglu, M.; Dagdeviren, M.; Pekiner, C. (2009-08-15) Background and aims: Global ischemia after cardiac arrest, intraoperative hypoxia/hypotension, or hemorrhagic shock is one of the causes of brain injury, resulting in severe neurological and neurobehavioral deficit. Since neurodegeneration can be protected from by local aromatase expression and estrogen synthesis can be neuroprotective in the ischemia/reperfusion process, aromatase may be a potential target to study reperfusion injury after brain ischemia. We investigated the expression of aromatase and C/E...
Shoulder proprioception in male adolescent tennis players and controls: The effect of shoulder position and dominance BOYAR, ALAADDİN; SALCI, YAŞAR; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; KORKUSUZ, FEZA (IOS Press, 2007-01-01) Proprioceptive information appears to play an important role in stability and movements of shoulder joint in sporting activities especially in tennis. The purpose of this study was to measure the shoulder proprioceptive sense differences between male tennis players and control group, in sitting and standing positions. 15 young male tennis players with a mean age 14.6 +/- 0.7 years and 15 young male sedentary individuals with a mean age 14.8 +/- 0.9 years participated in this cross-sectional descriptive stud...
