The authors concluded that the H-reflex rate depression depends of the type and severity of the SCI (contusion against complete transection).
The Hmax/Mmax ratio at 1, 5 and 10 Hz was expressed as a percent of 0.3 Hz baseline frequency ratio in order to calculate the H-reflex rate depression.
The H-reflex rate sensitivity (i.e. the decrease in reflex magnitude relative to repetition rate) was studied (Thompson et al., 1992; Skinner et al., 1996; Lee et al., 2005; Reese et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2009; Bianco et al., 2011).
The spastic group also had greater reflex activity, rate of force development, and antagonistic muscle activation.
Experimental results show that in the grasping reflex, the rate of force is increased four times, and the sliding displacement of the grasped object subjected to unexpected disturbances is reduced from 10 mm to 5.7 mm.
Tendon Reflex Contraction Rate.
The parameters observed were grooming, hyperactivity, sedation, loss of righting reflex, respiratory rate and convulsion.
The parameters observed were grooming, mood, hyperactivity, sedation, loss of righting reflex, respiratory rate and convolutions.
The sting extension reflex was rated with a 1 when the sting was visible between the sternal and tergal plaques of the seventh abdominal segment during the 2-sec shock.
Routine monitoring of a woman undergoing magnesium sulfate therapy includes simple assessment of neurologic status (level of alertness and patellar reflexes), respiratory rate and urinary output [ 14].
Contraction-sensitive somatic afferents were activated by electrically-evoked muscle contraction and the arterial baroreceptor heart rate reflex was assessed by constructing reflex curves using a decerebrate, arterially-perfused preparation.
