H-reflex changes with loading and unloading
Soleus H-reflex has been tested clinically in lying position. Stresses on the spine vary during lying, standing, weight lifting and unloading. This may influence the H-reflex. The purpose of this study was to measure the changes that might occur in the soleus H-reflex during such loading and …

A novel therapy to regain control of spinal motoneurons in stroke survivors
… possess the ability to modulate their H-reflex amplitude through exercise induced operant conditioning. To better understand the changes in the spinal cord associated with hemiplegic stroke, two important inhibitory spinal cord mechanisms, namely post activation depression (PAD) and Group …

Cortico-motor adaptations and proprioceptive acuity in patients with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament deficiency
… cortico-motor excitability and the quadriceps H-reflex was measured. Results. On the injured side in the ACL group, KOS-ADLS, WC (p < 0.018) and proprioceptive acuity (p < 0.01) were reduced. RMT were lower on the injured side ( p = 0.019). H-reflex amplitude was smaller on the injured side …

Effect of Tai Chi Exercise Combined with Mental Imagery in Improving Balance
… for the DM group were hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), H-reflex and nerve conduction velocity test. Results: This study showed that both groups experienced significant improvements in ABC, OLS, FRT (P < 0 .01) after completing 8 weeks of TC exercise, with no significant difference improvement between …

Effects of localised cooling and warming on neuromuscular control in young and older women
… and the electromyographic signal; 2) the H reflex and maximal compound action potential and the H. /M. ratio; 3) postural control; 4) force fluctuation during a fine motor control task. Different responses to temperature were observed between the young and older groups. For example, cooling …

Reflex inhibition of the human quadriceps in the presence of knee joint damage
Quadriceps weakness can occur by atrophy and by reflex inhibition due to stimuli from a damaged knee joint. The mechanisms by which quadriceps weakness occurs are not understood enough to allow weakness to be prevented. The nature of reflex inhibition has been studied in patients undergoing …

Neuromuscular Consequences Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
… alterations in corticomotor excitability, spinal-reflexive excitability, and voluntary activation in the quadriceps of their injured limb compared to their uninjured limb as well as matched limbs of healthy matched controls. It was also of interest to examine the relationship between inter-limb …

Presynaptic spinal reflex modulation in children and adolescents
… developed motor responses including hyperreflexia and spasticity, greatly impacting their quality of life. Investigations for treatment and improvement for quality of life in young populations need to be appropriately adjusted to assess the development of reflexes in pediatric stages. …

Effects of Omega-3s and Vitamin E Prophylactic Diets and the Implications of Lipid Transport in Spinal Cord Injury
… Vitamin E improved locomotion, improved H-reflex depression (indirect measure for spasticity), accelerated bladder recovery, and significantly increased the numbers of oligodendrocytes, but did not seem to preserve neurons in the ventral horn of injured rats. Further, dietary Vitamin E also …
