STUDY DESIGN: Narrative review. Recent years have brought new research findings on the
subject of wrist joint proprioception, which entails an understanding of the wrist as part of a …

The principle of the monosynaptic reflex used as a tool to explore the excitability of the
motoneurones (MNs) is explained and the general methodology of the H reflex is described …

In parallel experiments on humans and in the cat it was investigated how the sensitivity of
monosynaptic test reflexes to facilitation and inhibition varies as a function of the size of the …

Our previous studies showed that a single 45 min application of transcutaneous electrical
nerve stimulation (TENS) prolonged soleus H and stretch reflex latencies in hemiparetic …

Spinal motor systems receive a convergent input from descending tracts and peripheral
afferents. As a rule, there is multiform descending convergence from different supraspinal …

From an evolutionary perspective, it is clear that basic motor functions such as locomotion
and posture are largely controlled by neural circuitries residing in the spinal cord and brain …

Three patients are described with nonrhythmic repetitive axial myoclonic jerks causing
symmetric flexion of the neck, trunk, hips and knees. No electrophysiological evidence of a …

The effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation was investigated on presynaptic inhibition of
Ia terminals in the human upper and lower limb. Presynaptic inhibition of Ia afferents was …

1. The inhibition of the soleus Hoffmann reflex (H reflex) during voluntary dorsiflexion of the
foot‐‐henceforth referred to as 'natural'reciprocal inhibition‐‐was found to be initiated 50 ms …

Locomotor function, mediated by lumbar neural circuitry, is modulated by descending spinal
pathways. Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts descending projections and denervates lumbar …
