High frequency tendon reflexes in the human soleus muscle.
Tendon reflexes have been often used in studies of the human nervous system in health and disease. They have been investigated either in response to single tendon taps or to long duration vibrations. Tendon reflexes are described here in response to a high frequency vibration burst (3 cycles of a 100 Hz sine wave) applied to the Achilles tendon of standing subjects, either in quiet stance or du...

متن کامل[Blink and masseter inhibitory reflexes in Parkinson's disease].
BACKGROUND/AIM Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder with prevalence from 60 to 187 per 100 000 persons in general population. The aim of the study was to determine the abnormalities of the blink reflex (BR) and the masseter inhibitory reflex (MIR) in parkinsonian patients, as indices of the functional status of brainstem neuronal network, and...
