Electrophysiologic assessment of spasticity in children using H-reflex
The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2013 We investigated a possible correlation between Hoffmann's reflex (H-reflex) and the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in children with spasticity. H-reflex latencies, amplitudes (H amplitude), Hmax/Mmax amplitude, and MAS were simultaneously measured ...

Recruitment curve of the soleus H-reflex in chronic back pain and lumbosacral radiculopathy
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2001 Background Needle EMG may be negative in mild or predominantly sensory lumbosacral radiculopathies. In such cases, an increase in the latency of the soleus H-reflex is a useful diagnostic criterion for establishing sensory fiber compromise at the S1 root

Central loop Versus Conventional H-reflex in Diabetic Neuropathic Patients
Armaghane Danesh Bimonthly Journal, 2009 : Introduction & Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent endocrine disease and one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. Neither conventional electrodiagnostic nor imaging studies (even MRI of lumbosacral vertebrae) can precisely

Central loop of the H-reflex: Influencing factors and their relationship
مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2003 Background and Objectives: Measuring the H-reflex latency (Tp) is an electrophysiologic test to evaluate the S1 root lesions This reflex traverses a relatively long course and its sensitivity to diagnose mild S1 root lesions is low, so investigators have

Optimizing assessment of low frequency H-reflex depression in persons with spinal cord injury
PLoS ONEConsidering the growing interest in clinical applications of neuromodulation, assessing effects of various modulatory approaches is increasingly important. Monosynaptic spinal reflexes undergo depression following repeated activation, offering a means to
