Effects of static stretching on active muscle stiffness with and without the stretch reflex
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2020 The purpose of the present study was to examine acute changes in active muscle stiffness with and without the stretch reflex following static stretching.

eLife, 2020 Fast signaling from vision and proprioception to muscle activation plays essential roles in quickly correcting movement. Though many studies have demonstrated modulation of the quick sensorimotor responses as depending on context in each modality, the ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Force attained during concentric contraction (active shortening) is transiently enhanced following eccentric contraction (active stretch) in skeletal muscle. This phenomenon is called stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) effect.

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.

Soleus Stretch Reflex during Cycling [PDF]
Motor Control, 2001 The modulation and strength of the human soleus short latency stretch reflex was investigated by mechanically perturbing the ankle during an unconstrained pedaling task. Eight subjects pedaled at 60 rpm against a preload of 10 Nm. A torque pulse was applied to the crank at various positions during the crank cycle, producing ankle dorsiflexion ...

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.

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.
