Association of mechanical temporal summation of pain with muscle co-contraction during walking in people with knee osteoarthritis. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2023; 110:106105.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with knee osteoarthritis walk with excessive muscle co-contraction that can accelerate disease progression. Central pain sensitization is common in people with knee osteoarthritis and may be related to walking patterns. The objective of this study was to examine the relation of central pain sensitization with muscle co-contraction during walking in people with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS This study reports secondary analysis from baseline data of two clinical trials (n = 90 participants with knee osteoarthritis). The presence of central pain sensitization was measured by mechanical temporal summation at the patella and the wrist. Quadriceps and hamstrings activation was assessed using surface electromyography during walking at self-selected and fast paces. Muscle co-contraction indices for vastus medialis-medial hamstrings and vastus lateralis-lateral hamstrings muscle pairs were calculated during stance phases. Co-contraction outcomes were compared between people with and without mechanical temporal summation at each site, adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index. FINDINGS People with mechanical temporal summation at the knee had greater vastus lateralis-lateral hamstrings co-contraction while walking at a fast pace (P = 0.04). None of the other differences was statistically significant, but the overall trends and effect sizes indicated greater co-contraction in people with temporal summation at the knee irrespective of gait phase, walking speed, or muscle pairs. INTERPRETATION Central pain sensitization, assessed as mechanical temporal summation at the knee, is related to greater knee muscle co-contraction during fast walking in people with knee osteoarthritis. Thus, mitigating central sensitization may be an interventional target to reduce muscle co-contraction for people with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
AbstractSocial dilemmas occur when the pursuit of self-interest by individuals in a group leads to less than optimal collective outcomes for everyone in the group. A critical assumption in the human sciences is that people's choices in such dilemmas are individualistic, selfish, and rational. Hence, cooperation in the support of group welfare will only occur if there are selfish incentives that convert the social dilemma into a nondilemma. In recent years, inclusive fitness theories have lent weight to such traditional views of rational selfishness on Darwinian grounds. To show that cooperation is based on selfish incentives, however, one must provide evidence that people do not cooperate without such incentives. In a series of experimental social dilemmas, subjects were instructed to make single, anonymous choices about whether or not to contribute money for a shared “bonus” that would be provided only if enough other people in the group also contributed their money. Noncontributors cited selfish reasons for their choices; contributors did not. If people are allowed to engage in discussion, they will contribute resources at high rates, frequently on irrational grounds, to promote group welfare. These findings are consistent with previous research on ingroup biasing effects that cannot be explained by “economic man” or “selfish gene” theories. An alternative explanation is that sociality was a primary factor shaping the evolution of Homo sapiens. The cognitive and affective mechanisms underlying such choices evolved under selection pressures on small groups for developing and maintaining group membership and for predicting and controlling the behavior of other group members. This sociality hypothesis organizes previously inexplicable and disparate phenomena in a Darwinian framework and makes novel predictions about human choice.

Abstract
AbstractStudies have shown that in the mammalian neuromuscular system stretch reflexes are localized within individual muscles. Neuromuscular compartmentalization, the partitioning of sensory output from muscles, and the partitioning of segmental pathways to motor nuclei have also been demonstrated. This evidence indicates that individual motor nuclei and the muscles they innervate are not homogeneous functional units. An analysis of the functional significance of reflex localization and partitioning suggests that segmental control mechanisms are based on subdivisions of motor nuclei–muscle complexes. A partitioned organization of segmental control mechanisms could utilize (1) the potential functional diversity of muscle fiber types, (2) the variety of mechanical actions of individual muscles arising from their distributed origins and insertions, and (3) diverse architectural features such as intramuscular variations in pinnation and complex in-series and in-parallel arrangements of muscle fibers. The differentiated activity observed in some muscles during natural movements also calls for localized segmental control mechanisms. Partitioning may also play a role in mechanical interactions between contracting motor units and in increasing the stability of neuromuscular systems. The functional advantages of reflex localization and partitioning suggest they are probably common features of segmental systems, whose organization reflects the structure and function of their associated neuromuscular systems.
