Effects of H-Reflex Onset Latency on Gait in Elderly and Hemiplegic Individuals [PDF]

open access: yesMedicina, 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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

H-reflex latency changes after combined application of traction and neural mobilization in cervical radiculopathy

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2019
Background Cervical radiculopathy is a pathology of the cervical nerve root and mostly caused by a cervical disk herniation leading to chronic pain and disability.

Effects of age and leg length upon central loop of the Gastrocnemius-soleus H-reflex latency

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2004
Background central loop of the gastrocnemius-soleus H-reflex latency (Tc) that looks promising in the diagnosis of S1 radiculopathy; has been investigated in a few studies and only two of them have focused on the constitutional factors affecting it ...

H-reflex amplitude asymmetry is an earlier sign of nerve root involvement than latency in patients with S1 radiculopathy

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Based on our clinical experience, the H-reflex amplitude asymmetry might be an earlier sign of nerve root involvement than latency in patients with S1 radiculopathy. However, no data to support this assumption are available.

Effects of inhibitory pressure on tone: An experimental study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
INTRODUCTION : Tone is defined as the resistance of muscle to passive elongation or stretch. It is also said to be in a state of readiness. It represents the residual contractions in normally innervated resting muscle or steady state contractions ...

Effects of ageing and Tai Chi training on soleus H-reflex in older adults

open access: yes, 2011
The Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) is used to investigate the influence of Ia afferent projection on the spinal motoneuron activities. It has been suggested that the H-reflex is task-dependent and demonstrates adaptations to exercise training.

On spinal mechanisms for reflex control in man : modulation of Ia-afferent excitation with changes in muscle length, activation level and fatigue [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2004
To control muscle force, neural activation has to take alterations in muscle mechanics into account. This thesis assesses modulations in excitatory efficacy of Ia-afferents during muscle length changes at different levels of voluntary activation and ...

Corticospinal and spinal responses and adaptations from shortening and lengthening resistance training and subsequent detraining

open access: yes, 2014
Maximising strength and neurological adaptations to resistance training has long been sought to improve athletic performance and enhance clinical rehabilitation functional outcomes.
