Pathological Plantar Response: Disturbances of the Normal Integration of Flexor and Extensor Reflex Components.
Previous reports (Kugelberg, Eklund, and Grimby, 1960; Grimby, 1963) have presented the results of electromyographic studies ofspinal reflexes elicited in healthy subjects by painful brief electric stimuli applied to the plantar surface of the foot. Special attention was paid to the 'reflex pattern' obtained on simultaneous recording in the short hallux flexor and extensor muscles, since the st...

متن کاملPathological plantar response. I. Flexor and extensor components in early and late reflex parts.
In previous investigations (Kugelberg, Eklund, and Grimby, 1960; Grimby, 1963a, b) the spinal part of the human plantar reflex in normal and pathological cases was studied by means of electromyographic techniques. Special attention was paid to the reflex patterns obtained during simultaneous recordings from the short hallux flexor and extensor, since the strength of the electrical response in t...
متن کاملExtensor plantar response elicited by passive head flexion.
Various methods of eliciting the extensor plantar response (upgoing toe through action of the extensor hallucis longus muscle in concert with one or more other flexor muscles of the leg) have been report ed (3). Among these the most well known is the method described by Babinski (Babinski sign) (3). Eliciting an extensor plantar response by head anteflexion has not been reported. In a 75-yo wom...
متن کاملDifferentiating normal from pathological brain ageing using standard neuropsychological tests.
To diagnose Alzheimer's disease (AD) early, tests sensitive to neuropathology and insensitive to normal ageing are of greatest benefit. We used several neuropsychological tests to identify those best suited to distinguishing Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early AD from normal ageing. Impairments in long-term memory were found in older adults and these were even greater in MCI and AD. Older...
