  • Title: [Chronometric study of a posturo-kinetic program associated with voluntary movement].
    Author: Zattara M, Bouisset S.
    Journal: J Physiol (Paris); 1986; 81(1):14-6. PubMed ID: 3761202.
    Abstract:
    Posturo-kinetic programming was investigated by a simple reaction time paradigm. Standing subjects performed voluntary upper limb elevations differing by the importance of their destabilizing effect on the initial balance. It was shown that: The reaction time varied according to the destabilizing effect of the forthcoming movement. These variations were due to differences in the duration of postural adjustments which were shown to precede voluntary movement. Duration of pre-motor period, corresponding to delay between the response signal and the onset of the earliest postural adjustment, did not depend on parameters of the forthcoming movement.
