The urge to move or unpleasant sensations begin or worsen during periods of rest or inactivity such as lying down or sitting. ▪ The urge to move or unpleasant sensations are partially or totally relieved by movement, such as walking or stretching, at least as long as the activity continues...
Some neurons of S1 respond to noxious inputs as well as to touch and vibration, although most are poor at encoding the intensity of noxious stimuli in terms of firing frequency. Nociceptive selective neurons appear to be rare, or absent in S1. Thalamocortical neurons of VPL and VPM also ...
Place theory -Theory that pitch is determined by the location of greatest vibration of the basilar membrane.Frequency theory -Theory that pitch is determined by the frequency with which hair cells in the cochlea fire.Ear canal – Also called the auditory canal, carries sound waves into the ear...
The device (1) has an electric fan (10) adapted to generate a gas stream, and an inflatable body (2) with a casing for receiving a part of the gas flow, where the gas flow switches the inflatable body from a compact rest state into a relatively bulky state. An outlet is provided fo...

The tuning fork was placed upright over a bony prominence at the lateral condyle of the tibia and was left in place until the subject reported loss of sensation. The minimum magnitude of vibration (0–8 scale visible on the fork, 0: strong, 8: none) reported as being felt by the ...
Vibration:Vibration in the skin is experienced when rapidly adapting touch sensors are stimulated rhythmically, for example when the hand strokes a texture, or when one sits on a chair and a truck is driving by, causing vibration of the floor. Receptor organs in the upper layer of the skin ...
has general overall effects as well as those that are localized to a treated body part or region. Heat's effects also depend on the type of heat and its depth of penetration (the more adipose a client has the less penetration in those areas; and the reverse for those particularly thin)....
The structure of an LRA consists of a combination of a metal spring and a magnet assembly. When an alternating current is applied, the magnet generates a driving force on the metal spring, causing the LRA to vibrate. The frequency and amplitude of the LRA’s vibration can be controlled by...
The assessment of thermal sensation is the first stage of many studies aimed at addressing thermal comfort and at establishing the related criteria used in indoor and outdoor environments. The study of thermal sensation requires suitable modelling of the human body, taking into account the factors ...
