Table 2 Proprioceptive feedback pathways in humans
From: Fixed Dystonia in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: a Descriptive and Computational Modeling Approach
Feedback Pathway | Proprioceptive Sensory Organ | Afferent Nerve Type | Physical Measure | Sensitive to Muscle Shortening or Lengthening |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Position | Muscle spindle | Mainly II | Muscle stretch | Only lengthening (unidirectional) |
Velocity | Muscle spindle | Mainly Ia | Muscle stretch velocity | Only lengthening (unidirectional) |
Force | Golgi tendon organ | Ib | Muscle force | Both (bidirectional) |
