Or will we turn off the tap, forcing write-offs of considerable oil patch assets?
Lifting a Damoclean sword over the heads of rowdy drinkers, the landlord can stop tap, forcing drunkards on an abortive walk of shame.
Neither control (occipital) nor ipsilateral M1 rTMS lead to a change in tapping force.
On the basis of this imaging condition, the tapping force estimated was less than 30 pN30.
Simultaneous bilateral M1 stimulation, designed to prevent compensation by the ipsilateral M1, had a large and prolonged effect on tapping force.
Compared with control subjects, MS patients had a significantly lower threshold in tapping force (p =.026), yet their evoked reflex torque was significantly higher (p =.033).
Representative relationships between the peak tapping force and the peak angular speed also closely fit with the exponential model (the average coefficient of determination, 0.70; range, 0.43 0.97).
Design: With the subject relaxed, a hand-held instrumented hammer was used to tap the patellar tendon and record the tapping force, while knee extension torque and quadriceps EMG were recorded isometrically as measures of the reflex response.
Main Outcome Measures: Tendon tapping force (designated as system input), reflex torque (as output), their dynamic relationship (characterized as system parameters tendon reflex gain, contraction rate, and reflex loop delay), Ashworth scale, and tendon reflex scale.
Main Outcome Measures: Peak reflex-mediated torque, peak electromyography, and tendon reflex gain calculated from the relationship between the tapping force and joint torque were compared as parameters for reflex magnitude.
