TI  - Choice reaction time of elbow flexion and extension during passive elbow motions.
PG  - 905-6
AB  - The effect of passive elbow motions on electromyographic reaction times (EMG-RTs) 
      of the biceps brachii for elbow flexion and the triceps for elbow extension was 
      investigated in 8 normal subjects, using a choice-RT task, in which the subject 
      was uncertain about the response direction to perform until the arrival of 
      response signal after the passive motion started. Compared to the static 
      condition, choice EMG-RTs shortened only when the direction of passive and 
      response movements was the same. It seems that passive motions act as prior 
      information on direction of movement in the choice-RT task.
