Adaptations in gait resulting from unilateral ischaemic block of the leg.

Two points were made in support of the compression-block technique as a useful tool in motor-control research. The effect of motor impairment (if any) can be controlled (a) by only making direct comparisons between results obtained under block, and (b) by keeping muscle exertion during the entire course of the block to an absolute minimum to avoid muscle fatigue.

The Compression-Block Technique: A Reply to Chambers and Schumsky (1978)

The Chambers and Schumsky (1978) study was not an experiment crucius regarding the Laszlo-Bairstow closed-loop theory. Yet, serious questions still exist about the contribution of motor impairment in general, and anoxia in particular, to results of motor block studies.

Compression block studies and the closed-loop system.

Laszlo and Bairstow (1971b) claim that the compression block technique eliminates kinesthetic feedback prior to motor impairment and loss of motor control. They use evidence from studies employing the block to infer the nature of motor-skills processing. The present study, using two-point threshold, pro-prioceptive sensitivity, and hand and finger strength measures, yielded no evidence that afferent loss preceded loss of motor control.
