Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2021 People with spasticity, i.e., stretch hyperreflexia, have a limited functional independence and mobility. While a broad range of spasticity treatments is available, many treatments are invasive, non-specific, or temporary and might have negative side ...

Reflexes in response to stretch (myotatic reflexes)
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1924 Abstract Familiar to those who work with the decerebrate preparation must be the observation that passive flexion of the characteristically extended knee is felt to evoke some development of resistance of it against that passive movement.

Modulations of stretch reflex by altering visuomotor contexts
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceVarious functional modulations of the stretch reflex help to stabilize actions, but the computational mechanism behind its context-dependent tuning remains unclear.

Juvenile Huntington Disease With Cerebellar‐Predominant Atrophy Identified by Genome Sequencing
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Juvenile Huntington disease accounts for a small fraction of Huntington disease cases and is driven by the largest trinucleotide repeat expansions. We describe a 6‐year‐old boy with progressive global regression, generalized dystonia, and epilepsy, in whom serial imaging showed striking cerebellar‐predominant atrophy with an initially normal ...

Brain Sciences, 2016 Neural connections remain partially viable after stroke, and access to these residual connections provides a substrate for training-induced plasticity. The objective of this project was to test if reflex excitability could be modified with arm and leg (A

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...
