Temporal shift in task factor influence across the stretch reflex. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMechanical perturbations applied to the arm can elicit reflexive actions. These rapid corrective responses include the stretch reflex, which consists of different components: the short-latency reflex (SLR) and the early and late long-latency reflex (LLR).

Effect of static stretching duration on modulation of H‐reflex and tendon‐reflex excitability of the soleus muscle in young men [PDF]
Physiological ReportsStretching‐induced impairments of muscle performance are attributed to neural adaptations and mechanical changes. Inhibition of muscle spindle sensitivity appears to have long‐lasting effects after stretching.

Stretch‐induced blood pressure moderation: A potential basis for the sense of well‐being accompanying stretching of upper back and neck muscles [PDF]
Physiological ReportsVoluntary stretching of upper back and shoulder muscles is often associated with a sense of well‐being of unknown cause. The goal of this study was to examine the impact of shoulder/upper back stretching on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP ...

Revising the stretch reflex threshold method to measure stretch hyperreflexia in cerebral palsy
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Hyper-resistance is an increased resistance to passive muscle stretch, a common feature in neurological disorders. Stretch hyperreflexia, an exaggerated stretch reflex response, is the neural velocity-dependent component of hyper-resistance, and has been

Changes in Spinal-Reflex Excitability during Static Stretch and/or Explosive Contraction
Applied Sciences, 2021 To examine individual or combined effects of static stretch and explosive contraction on quadriceps spinal-reflex excitability (the peak Hoffmann’s reflex normalized by the peak motor-response) and the latency times of the Hoffmann’s reflex and motor ...

Effects of static stretching on active muscle stiffness with and without the stretch reflex
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2020 The purpose of the present study was to examine acute changes in active muscle stiffness with and without the stretch reflex following static stretching.

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2022 Unaccustomed or strenuous eccentric exercise is known to cause delayed-onset muscle soreness. A recent hypothesis postulated that mechano-energetic microinjury of the primary afferent sensory neuron terminals in the muscle spindles, namely a transient ...
