It has been shown that estrogen and progesterone receptors are expressed in the spinal cord; therefore, fluctuation in their concentrations may affect the spinal network and modulate the control of movement. Herein, we assessed the neuro-modulatory effect of sex hormones on the polysynaptic spinal network by using a flexion reflex network as a model system. Twenty-four healthy eumenorrheic women (age 21-37 years) were tested every other day for one menstrual cycle.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how sex and the use of oral contraceptives (OC) affect the occurrence of musculotendinous injuries (MTI), highlighting that current research shows males tend to have higher rates of MTI compared to females.
- - Researchers analyzed data from the PearlDiver database, comparing three groups of patients (males, females on OC, and females not on OC) aged 18-39, finding that males had the highest incidence of MTI, while OC-using females had the lowest.
- - The findings suggest that females, especially those using oral contraceptives, are generally less likely to experience MTI compared to males, contributing valuable insights to the understanding of how hormones may influence mus
Estimating the state of tract-specific inputs to spinal motoneurons is critical to understanding movement deficits induced by neurological injury and potential pathways to recovery but remains challenging in humans. In this study, we explored the capability of trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (TSMS) to modulate distal reflex circuits in young adults. TSMS was applied over the thoracic spine to condition soleus H-reflexes involving sacral-level motoneurons.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders, including trapezius myalgia, may be associated with repeated exposure to prolonged low-level activity, even during light upper-extremity tasks including computer work.
Methods: Thirty healthy adults participated in a study that simulated two 6-hour workdays of computer work.
