Stretch reflexes in the upper limb of spastic man.
The reflex response to stretch has been studied in the upper limb of 20 spastic patients. The amplitude of reflex EMG was found to be closely related to the velocity of stretch. Reflex EMG in biceps and triceps muscles was augmented by increasing the length of the muscle, although minimal inhibition of reflex EMG in biceps was obtained in two patients by extreme stretch. The clasp-knife sensati...
متن کاملDifficult conditions of the spastic upper limb
“Difficult” is a very relative terminology and “difficult” to generalize. The various operative procedures done in patients with spastic hand are not technically demanding but assessing and decision making is the real challenge in these patients. There are some difficulties, which I personally encounter while assessing these patients and they have a bearing on the decision making. There are som...
متن کاملthe tragedy of modern man in arthur millers world
what miller wants is a theatre of heightened consciousness. he speaks of two passions in a man, the passion to "feel" and the passion "know". he belives that we can have more of the latter. he says: drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us know more and not merely to spend our feelings. the writing of the crucible shows us that he is trying to give more heightene...
15 صفحه اولStretch reflexes of triceps surae in normal man.
In order to learn more about stretch reflex behaviour of triceps surae, normal human subjects sat in a chair with one foot on a platform attached to a torque motor that produced phasic dorsiflexion displacements on the ankle. EMG activity was recorded from triceps surae and responses were obtained for various conditions. When the subjects's foot was relaxed, stretch of triceps surae produced a ...
متن کاملModulation of stretch reflexes of the finger flexors by sensory feedback from the proximal upper limb poststroke.
Neural coupling of proximal and distal upper limb segments may have functional implications in the recovery of hemiparesis after stroke. The goal of the present study was to investigate whether the stretch reflex response magnitude of spastic finger flexor muscles poststroke is influenced by sensory input from the shoulder and the elbow and whether reflex coupling of muscles throughout the uppe...
