Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2023 Background Previous studies showed that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) reduces spasticity after stroke. However, clinical assessments like the modified Ashworth scale, cannot discriminate stretch reflex-mediated stiffness (spasticity)

Intact thumb reflex in areflexic Guillain Barré syndrome: A novel phenomenon
Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2014 Introduction: Areflexia is one of the cardinal clinical features for the diagnosis of Guillain Barré syndrome. However, some patients may have sluggish proximal muscle stretch reflexes.

Human stretch reflex pathways reexamined
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2014 Reflex responses of tibialis anterior motor units to stretch stimuli were investigated in human subjects. Three types of stretch stimuli were applied (tap-like, ramp-and-hold, and half-sine stretch). Stimulus-induced responses in single motor units were analyzed using the classical technique, which involved building average surface electromyogram ...

Soleus H-reflex Excitability Changes in Response to Sinusoidal Hip Stretches in the Injured Human Spinal Cord [PDF]
, 2007 Imposed static hip stretches substantially modulate the soleus H-reflex in people with an intact or injured spinal cord while stretch of the hip flexors affect the walking pattern in lower vertebrates and humans.

A Method for Quantification of Stretch Reflex Excitability During Ballistic Reaching
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 Stretch reflexes are crucial for performing accurate movements and providing rapid corrections for unpredictable perturbations. Stretch reflexes are modulated by supraspinal structures via corticofugal pathways.

Hamstrings stretch reflex in human spasticity [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1971 In 16 patients with spastic paralysis the hamstrings stretch reflex was found to increase as the velocity of stretch increased, and generally to subside after movement ceased. These effects are attributable to the dynamic property of the primary spindle ending.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation over sensorimotor cortex disrupts anticipatory reflex gain modulation for skilled action [PDF]
, 2006 Skilled interactions with new environments require flexible changes to the transformation from somatosensory signals to motor outputs. Transcortical reflex gains are known to be modulated according to task and environmental dynamics, but the mechanism of
