Inter-rater reliability of categorical versus continuous scoring of fish vitality: Does it affect the utility of the reflex action mortality predictor (RAMP) approach? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Scoring reflex responsiveness and injury of aquatic organisms has gained popularity as predictors of discard survival. Given this method relies upon the individual interpretation of scoring criteria, an evaluation of its robustness is done here to test ...

A model of the cerebellum generates gait adaptations in a reflex-based neuromusculoskeletal model during split-belt walking [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background During split-belt treadmill walking, neurotypical humans exhibit adaptations characterized by a gradual decrease in step length asymmetry (SLA) toward or beyond symmetry, whereas individuals with cerebellar damage do not show these motor ...

White matter lesions associated with the reemergence of grasp reflexes in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus [PDF]

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
Background The white matter damage inducing the reemergence of grasp reflexes and their potential lateralization remains unstudied. Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a subcortical dementia, is an ideal model for these investigations.

Utility of otoacoustic emissions and olivocochlear reflex in predicting vulnerability to noise-induced inner ear damage

Noise and Health, 2018
Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore the possible utility of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and efferent system strength to determine vulnerability to noise exposure in a clinical setting.

Using the Flexor Reflex in a Chronic Stroke Patient for Gait Improvement: A Case Report

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
The flexor reflex or withdrawal reflex can be elicited by electrical stimulation of the sole of the foot, which serves as a reflex to protect the stimulated limb against tissue damage and consists of flexion movements in the hip, knee, and ankle joint ...

Carotid brainstem reflex myoclonus after hypoxic brain damage [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2000
A patient comatose after acute anoxia developed bilaterally synchronous, periodic myoclonic jerks most prominently in the bilateral upper limbs. Although the myoclonus seemed to occur spontaneously, electrophysiological studies showed that the myoclonic jerks correlated in timing and size with arterial pulses, and was suppressed by massage over the ...

Shared and distinct voxel-based lesion-symptom mappings for spasticity and impaired movement in the hemiparetic upper limb

Scientific Reports, 2022
Hemiparesis and spasticity are common co-occurring manifestations of hemispheric stroke. The relationship between impaired precision and force in voluntary movement (hemiparesis) and the increment in muscle tone that stems from dysregulated activity of ...
