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.

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.

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

Stepping Responses to Treadmill Perturbations vary with Severity of Motor Deficits in Human SCI [PDF]

, 2018
In this study, we investigated the responses to tread perturbations during human stepping on a treadmill. Our approach was to test the effects of perturbations to a single leg using a split-belt treadmill in healthy participants and in participants with ...

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.

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 ...

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.
