Effects of H-Reflex Onset Latency on Gait in Elderly and Hemiplegic Individuals [PDF]
Medicina, 2022 Background and Objectives: The Hoffmann’s reflex (H-reflex) is important in electrodiagnostic testing because it improves sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing radiculopathies.

Neurophysiological Changes in Post Stroke Spasticity Patients
The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023 Background: A stroke is a serious life-threatening medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is disrupted. Spasticity is a state, in which, there is an increase in muscle tone or stiffness, which might be associated with ...

Operant down-conditioning of the soleus H-reflex in people after stroke
Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2022 Through operant conditioning, spinal reflex behaviors can be changed. Previous studies in rats indicate that the sensorimotor cortex and corticospinal tract are essential in inducing and maintaining reflex changes induced through conditioning.

Reliability of the Soleus H-Reflex in Different Sitting Postures
Medical Sciences, 2020 The Soleus (SOL) Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) is commonly recorded in sitting position. However, the reliability of recording is unknown. We assessed the reliability of SOL H-reflex amplitude measurements across multiple traces and sessions during erect ...

Impaired H-Reflex Gain during Postural Loaded Locomotion in Individuals Post-Stroke. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Successful execution of upright locomotion requires coordinated interaction between controllers for locomotion and posture. Our earlier research supported this model in the non-impaired and found impaired interaction in the post-stroke nervous system ...

Novel human models for elucidating mechanisms of rate-sensitive H-reflex depression
Biomedical Journal, 2020 Background: This study used novel human neurophysiologic models to investigate whether the mechanism of rate-sensitive H-reflex depression lies in the pre-synaptic or post-synaptic locus in humans.
