Comparison of the Blink Reflex and R2 Recovery Cycle Parameters Between Blepharospasm and Healthy Subjects
Background & Objective: The blink reflex recovery cycle indicates the excitability of interneurons in the brainstem. In this study, we aimed to investigate the blink reflex and R2 recovery cycle in patients with benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). Materials & Methods: This prospective case-control study compared the blink reflex and R2 recovery in 18 BEB patients with 18 age- and gender-m...

A detailed study of the human blink reflex in the different parts of the orbicularis oculi muscle has been carried out. The first component of the blink reflex has been demonstrated in patients with Friedreich's ataxia, who have selective loss of large sensory fibres resulting in loss of proprioceptive input.

متن کاملObservations on the blink reflex.

Historically, it was described by Overend in 1896 and soon afterwards by McCarthy and by Bekhterev who disputed its origins. Kugelberg in 1952 recorded the early-latency R1 and the late-latency R2 electromyographic responses from orbicularis...
