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

Behavioral and neurological parameters of the nerve compression block.
TL;DR: Results indicated that motor impairment was a confounding factor in the use of the nerve block technique, with significant decrements occurring as early as 15 min.

The compression block technique: use and misuse in the study of motor skills.
TL;DR: Using two-point threshold, pro-prioceptive sensitivity, and hand and finger strength measures, yielded no evidence that afferent loss preceded loss of motor control.

The Compression-Block Technique: A Reply to Chambers and Schumsky (1978)
TL;DR: Two points were made in support of the compression-block technique as a useful tool in motor-control research by keeping muscle exertion during the entire course of the block to an absolute minimum to avoid muscle fatigue.

The performance of a simple motor task with kinaesthetic sense loss
TL;DR: In this paper, two related studies were carried out, to test the suitability of the nerve compression block as a technique in the investigation of kinaesthesis in motor skills In both studies a key tapping task was used.
Sensory and motor impairment in the nerve compression block.
TL;DR: The findings indicated that significant decrements in tapping measures occurred somewhat earlier in the time course of the block than decreases in kinaesthetic discrimination, and suggest that motor impairment is a “crucial” issue in the use of this technique.
