Perturbation Predictability Can Influence the Long-Latency Stretch Response by Forgaard, Christopher J, Franks, Ian M, Maslovat, Dana, Chua, Romeo

“…Perturbations applied to the upper limbs elicit short (M1: 25-50 ms) and long-latency (M2: 50-100 ms) responses in the stretched muscle. M1 is produced by a…”
