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.

Can tendon reflexes be elicited by both stretch and vibration in man?

Brain and Behavior, 2021
Aim of study When the biceps tendon is tapped, a contraction is elicited in the biceps muscle. This also occurs with tapping of the radial bone, and it has been suggested that vibration is a stimulus for deep tendon reflexes.

An objective approach to assess colonic pain in mice using colonometry.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The present study presents a non-surgical approach to assess colonic mechanical sensitivity in mice using colonometry, a technique in which colonic stretch-reflex contractions are measured by recording intracolonic pressures during saline infusion into ...

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 ...

WAO-ARIA consensus on chronic cough – Part 1: Role of TRP channels in neurogenic inflammation of cough neuronal pathways

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2021
Background: Cough features a complex peripheral and central neuronal network. The function of the chemosensitive and stretch (afferent) cough receptors is well described but partly understood.

Spasticity, spastic dystonia, and static stretch reflex in hypertonic muscles of patients with multiple sclerosis

Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, 2021
Objective: To investigate prevalence of EMG patterns underlying hypertonia in multiple sclerosis (MS) and whether these patterns indicate different levels of spinal excitability.

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.

Association Between Motor Pathway Damage and Motor Deficit in Upper and Lower Limb in People With MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Corticospinal tract damage is common in people with MS, but the degree of clinical symptoms varies. We hypothesize that corticospinal tract lesions are more extensive and severe in people with MS with motor impairments in both upper and lower limbs.

Interactions between stretch and startle reflexes produce task-appropriate rapid postural reactions

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2015
Neural pathways underpinning startle reflex and limb stretch reflexes evolved independently and have served vastly different purposes. In their most basic form, the pathways responsible for these reflex responses are relatively simple processing units ...
