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.

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.

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.

Release of ATP and glutamate in the nucleus tractus solitarii mediate pulmonary stretch receptor (Breuer-Hering) reflex pathway [PDF]
, 2008 The Breuer-Hering inflation reflex is initiated by activation of the slowly adapting pulmonary stretch receptor afferents (SARs), which monosynaptically activate second-order relay neurones in the dorsal medullary nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS ...

Whole body vibration of different frequencies inhibits H-reflex but does not affect voluntary activation [PDF]
, 2018 This study aimed to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) at a frequency spectrum from 20 to 50 Hz on the Hoffmann (H) reflex and the voluntary motor output of ankle plantar-flexor muscles.

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 ...

Effect of Low-Frequency Vibration on Muscle Response under Different Neurointact Conditions
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2019 Stretch reflex is an important factor that influences the biomechanical response of the human body under whole-body vibration. However, there is a lack of quantitative evaluation at lower frequencies.

Neurophysiologic effects of spinal manipulation in patients with chronic low back pain
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.
