A reflex technique to measure presynaptic inhibition in cerebral stroke.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of reflex excitability measurement techniques in the partial measurement of spasticity related to cerebral stroke. Techniques involved the testing of the soleus H-reflex at specific ankle positions during passive dorsiflexing movements with and without background plantarflexing contractions; conditions attempted to simulate the terminal stance phase of gait. Testing of 12 stroke …
