Abstract

The facilitation of reaction time, force, and vigor of a ballistic action by loud acoustic stimuli can be enhanced by the maintenance of a sustained contraction during preparation. This enhanced facilitation is observed when the sustained contraction is maintained with low force contralaterally and congruently with the ballistic response. This increased facilitation may be particularly applicable to rehabilitative applications of loud acoustic stimuli in improving the functional recovery of movement after neurological conditions such as stroke.
