The Relationship Between Medial Gastrocnemius Lengthening Properties and Stretch Reflexes in Cerebral Palsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018 Stretch reflex hyperactivity in the gastrocnemius of children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) is commonly evaluated by passively rotating the ankle joint into dorsiflexion at different velocities, such as applied in conventional clinical spasticity ...

Neurophysiologic effects of spinal manipulation in patients with chronic low back pain [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2011 Background While there is growing evidence for the efficacy of SM to treat LBP, little is known on the mechanisms and physiologic effects of these treatments.

Hamstring stretch reflex: could it be a reproducible objective measure of functional knee stability?” [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2016 Background The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays an important role in anterior knee stability by preventing anterior translation of the tibia on the femur.

Spasticity mechanisms - for the clinician [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2010 Spasticity, a classical clinical manifestation of an upper motor neuron lesion, has been traditionally and physiologically defined as a velocity dependent increase in muscle tone caused by the increased excitability of the muscle stretch reflex ...

Sensors, 2023 Spasticity might affect gait in children with cerebral palsy. Quantifying its occurrence during locomotion is challenging. One approach is to determine kinematic stretch reflex thresholds, usually on the velocity, during passive assessment and to search ...

eLife, 2020 Fast signaling from vision and proprioception to muscle activation plays essential roles in quickly correcting movement. Though many studies have demonstrated modulation of the quick sensorimotor responses as depending on context in each modality, the ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Force attained during concentric contraction (active shortening) is transiently enhanced following eccentric contraction (active stretch) in skeletal muscle. This phenomenon is called stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) effect.

The stretch reflex and the contributions of C David Marsden
Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2017 The stretch reflex or myotatic reflex refers to the contraction of a muscle in response to its passive stretching by increasing its contractility as long as the stretch is within physiological limits.

Stretch reflex improves rolling stability during hopping of a decerebrate system [PDF]
, 2013 When humans hop, attitude recovery can be observed in both the sagittal and frontal planes. While it is agreed that the brain plays an important role in leg placement, the role of low-level feedback (the stretch reflex) on frontal plane stabilization ...

Detection of stretch reflex onset based on empirical mode decomposition and modified sample entropy
BMC Biomedical Engineering, 2019 Background Accurate spasticity assessment provides an objective evaluation index for the rehabilitation treatment of patients with spasticity, and the key is detecting stretch reflex onset.
