Adductor T reflex abnormalities in patients with decreased patellar reflexes.

30 Jul 2009 The adductor reflex (AR) is a tendon reflex that has various features that differ from other tendon reflexes. This reflex was tested in different disorders presenting with diminished patellar reflexes such as diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus ... Read more...

Nonlinear twitch torque summation by motor units activated at M-wave and H-reflex latencies.

30 Jul 2009 We have suggested previously that motor units recruited reflexively contribute to torque produced during neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), but this has not been tested directly. The current experiments were designed to quantify the ... Read more...

Modulation of the soleus H-reflex following galvanic vestibular stimulation and cutaneous stimulation in prone human subjects.

30 Jul 2009 There is evidence to suggest that vestibular and somatosensory inputs may interact when they are processed by the central nervous system, although the nature of the individual sensory contributions to this interaction is unknown. We examined the ... Read more...
