The quadriceps stretch reflex in human spasticity.
The similarity of decerebrate rigidity in the cat and human spasticity has been noted frequently since the initial observation of Sherrington (1897). Walshe (1919, 1929) considered the two conditions to be physiologically identical, although spasticity 'is but a fractional expression of decerebrate rigidity'. More recently Brodal (1962) and Rushworth (1964) have referred to this similarity. Bro...

متن کاملHuman stretch reflex pathways reexamined.
Reflex responses of tibialis anterior motor units to stretch stimuli were investigated in human subjects. Three types of stretch stimuli were applied (tap-like, ramp-and-hold, and half-sine stretch). Stimulus-induced responses in single motor units were analyzed using the classical technique, which involved building average surface electromyogram (SEMG) and peristimulus time histograms (PSTH) f...
متن کاملRegulatory actions of human stretch reflex.
1. The stretch reflex in the elbow flexor musculature was studied in 23 human subjects. The subjects were required to establish an initial force equivalent to 10% maximum at a prescribed initial length; mechanical disturbances delivered at random times increased load force to 15% or reduced it to 5%. We measured arm force, displacement, and EMG (usually biceps); acceleration was calculated from...
متن کاملThe effect of cannabinoids on the stretch reflex in multiple sclerosis spasticity.
The aim of this observational study was to assess the efficacy of a tetrahydrocannabinol-cannabidiol (THC : CBD) oromucosal spray on spasticity using the stretch reflex in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Numeric rating scale (NRS) for spasticity, modified Ashworth scale (MAS), and the stretch reflex were assessed before and during treatment in 57 MS patients with spasticity eligible for ...
