Movement-induced modulation of soleus H reflexes with altered length of biarticular muscles
Abstract
Passive pedaling movements of the leg results in the phasic modulation of the soleus H reflex of that leg. In contrast, the H reflex of the contralateral leg is attenuated tonically. The phasic modulation of the reflex ipsilaterally can be attributed to the afferent discharge associated with the cyclic lengthening of the extensor muscles. We hypothesized that the tonic attenuation of the contralateral reflex could be explained if the afferent …
