Document Summary

Extrafusal muscle fibre is the part of the muscle the provides force and contract. There is then a synapsing with an alpha motor neuron, which then leans to the contraction of the quad. Older adults take longer to become excited, slower transmission, so they have a slow proprioceptive loop. If you want to train your muscle spindles, they can stand on a wobble board, retraining the postural support system.

The mri shows lesions of the brain, we like to combine structure with behaviour in neuroscience. The parietal lesion results in a lot of tremor. When someone has a stroke, it is important to re teach them how to sit or stand. Hemiparesis is when you have peralisis, aka poor muscle control on one side of your body.
