Regular stretching and warm-up exercises can prevent spasms. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing and manage your stress levels. Over-the-counter pai...
This allows the CNS to set the muscle stiffness before, during, and after locomotive or postural events. Other sensorimotor mechanisms also influence the sensitivity of the muscle spindles through providing information from other mechanical sensory receptors located in the rest of the locomotive ...
