Increased enslaving in elderly is associated with changes in neural control of the extrinsic finger muscles
Experimental Brain Research Mar 30, 2018
Mirakhorlo M, et al. - Researchers intended to ascertain if the extent of finger force enslaving varied with aging during a task comprising of both static and dynamic phases in 10 right-handed young (22–30 years) and 10 elderly subjects (67–79 years). It was deduced that the enslaving effect was considerably higher in elderly compared to young subjects both in the static (12% more) and dynamic (14% more) phases. Such variations in enslaving could partly be elucidated via changes in neuromuscular control.
