This was to test the stretch reflexes in your spinal cord, which resist muscle stretching to give you muscle tone to hold ...

Clonus is a type of reflex. When a muscle group is stretched or stimulated, neurons perceive that stretch and cause contraction of the same muscle group. This type of reflex is meant to protect ...

This gives a slight but quick stretch to the tendon, resulting in a reflex muscle contraction. Deep-tendon reflexes to be examined are at the elbow (biceps and triceps), wrist (brachioradialis ...

There was no interaction effect for grip strength following the three interventions. Conclusions: Acute WBV causes neural potentiation of the stretch reflex loop as shown by the improved ACMVJ and ...

Douglas Lanska. It accurately and effectively elicits muscle stretch reflexes, superficial or cutaneous reflexes, as well as plantar and abdominal reflexes, with less effort and greater patient ...

with no sensory impairment and normal muscle stretch reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine in the supine position showed segmental myelopathy with cervical spinal cord ...
