Mechanism of monosynaptic reflex reinforcement during Jendrassik manoeuvre in man.
The facilitating effect of the Jendrassik manoeuvre on monosynaptic reflexes in man has been studied by comparing H and T reflexes of the soleus and by blocking the effects of spindle activation by ischaemia of the leg. The Jendrassik manoeuvre equally enhances H and T reflexes provided that the test reflexes are small. The H reflex remains facilitated when the spindle activation cannot affect ...
متن کاملEffect of differential nerve block on inhibition of the monosynaptic reflex by vibration in man.
The differential nerve block produced by ischaemia has been used in an attempt to identify the afferent nerve fibres responsible for vibratory inhibition of the monosynaptic reflex in man. It is concluded that the inhibition arises mainly from receptors in the lower leg and is carried by myelinated afferent fibres larger than A-delta.
متن کاملReflex Depression in Rhythmically Active Monosynaptic Reflex Pathways
A study has been made of the depression that occurs when a monosynaptic reflex pathway is subjected to repetitive stimulation. Reflex depression has a dual origin. High frequency or early depression is postsynaptic in origin and results from subnormality in the motoneurons. Low frequency, late, or enduring depression is presynaptic in origin. The conditioning volley-test volley technique and th...
متن کاملTransmission in Fractionated Monosynaptic Spinal Reflex Systems
A study has been made of conditions that support monosynaptic reflex transmission from afferent fibers of one part of a synergic muscle mass to motoneurons of another part. Heteronymous response so called can be brought on by prior tetanization of the afferent pathway and by asphyxiation to a critical stage. The response is facilitated by cooling and may appear in the cold preparation without n...
متن کاملMonosynaptic Reflex Responses of Individual Motoneurons
Individual motoneuron responses to a variety of afferent inputs have been examined. At a given input some motoneurons respond to every trial, some to no trial, and some respond to a certain percentage of trials that is characteristic for the motoneuron at that input. The performance of a motoneuron is expressed by means of a firing index that relates the number of responses to the number of tri...
