CONT

Muscle–tendon vibration( MTV) was first introduced as an experimental tool to probe proprioception and neuromuscular physiology by mechanically stimulating muscle proprioceptors through a cyclic stretching of the muscle–tendon complex.... When applied continuously over several minutes, MTV often induces a reduction in maximal voluntary force, along with decreased spinal excitability and increased cortical activity... Repeated exposure over days or weeks has also been shown to improve strength, postural control and functional capacity in both healthy individuals and clinical populations(e. g., stroke or neurological disorders), highlighting the potential of MTV in rehabilitation and performance contexts...

Key term(s)

CONT

La vibration musculo-tendineuse (VMT) est une nouvelle avenue pour la prise en charge des troubles proprioceptifs. Cette méthode de neurostimulation active les fuseaux neuromusculaires et permet d'induire, en l'absence de vision, une illusion de mouvement cohérente avec l'étirement du groupe musculaire vibré (p. ex. la vibration des muscles fléchisseurs reproduit une extension).

DEF

Altération pathologique graduelle d'un tendon, d'un muscle, d'un ligament, d'un nerf ou d'une articulation causée par des mouvements répétitifs, une posture statique, des vibrations ou un repos insuffisant entre les mouvements.

OBS

microtraumatismes répétés : Une lésion due aux mouvements répétitifs étant causée par une accumulation de microtraumatismes, on trouve aussi dans l'usage le terme «microtraumatismes répétés» employé au pluriel comme synonyme de «lésion due aux mouvements répétitifs».
