The effects of reflex path length on clonus frequency in spastic muscles.

Clinical evaluation of clonus in spastic muscles was performed by comparing reflex path length with clonus frequency for different muscles in the same patient. It was found that clonus frequency varied inversely with reflex path length (r = 0.84, p less than 0.001). The findings confirm that clonus is generated by a peripheral mechanism of self re-excitation rather than a central spinal pacemaker.

Ankle clonus

Clonus is a series of involuntary, rhythmic, muscular contractions, and relaxations. It may be caused by interruption of the upper motor neuron fibers such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or by metabolic alterations such as severe hepatic failure or serotonin syndrome. We present a video case of impressive left ankle clonus in a patient with old right middle cerebral artery stroke.

A simulation study of reflex instability in spasticity: origins of clonus.

Clonus is defined as an involuntary rhythmic muscle contraction that generally occurs in people who have sustained lesions involving descending motor pathways in the neuraxis, and is usually accompanied by other signs of reflex hyperexcitability such as spasticity. This paper hypothesizes that clonus arises when two conditions occur simultaneously: 1) the reflex pathway contains long delay time...

Shortest Path Problem with Gamma Probability Distribution Arc Length

We propose a dynamic program to find the shortest path in a network having gamma probability distributions as arc lengths. Two operators of sum and comparison need to be adapted for the proposed dynamic program. Convolution approach is used to sum two gamma probability distributions being employed in the dynamic program.
