چکیده

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: the h-reflex is a useful electrophysiological procedure for evaluating the status of the peripheral nervous system, especially at the proximal segment of the peripheral nerve. the purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between triceps surae h-reflex and m- response latencies and thigh length in normal population, in order to determine if there is any regression equation between them . materials and methods: after screening 75 volunteers by considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, 72 of them were selected to enroll into our study (34 men and 38 women with the mean age of 36.04 ± 7.7 years). in all of the subjects h-reflex and m-response latencies were recorded by standard electrophysiological techniques and thigh length was measured. finally, our data was analyzed for its relations with respect to ages in both sexes by appropriate statistical and mathematical methods. results: mean ± sd for h-reflex latency was 27.94 ± 1.6 ms. we found a significant correlation between h-reflex latency and m-latency (r = 0.28), no significant correlation was found between h-reflex latency and thigh length (r = -0.051). finally based on our findings we introduce a new formula in this paper . conclusion: we found a significant correlation among of m-response latency and other variables (h-reflex latency and thigh length). despite this it was eliminated from our formula. the relationship between h-reflex latency and age was significant. further studies are required to delineate the clinical usage and interpretation of the formula, which we found in this study.

H-reflex modulation during passive lengthening and shortening of the triceps surae muscle group

Introduction It has been argued that modulation of the H-reflex during dynamic activities reflects changes in motoneurone excitability brought about to suit the functional demands of the task (Capaday et al., 1987). H-reflex modulation has been examined during passive changes in muscle length (Robinson et al., 1982), active and passive stepping and cycling movements (Brooke et al., 1995) and du...

Sway-dependent modulation of the triceps surae H-reflex during standing.

Previous research has shown that changes in spinal excitability occur during the postural sway of quiet standing. In the present study, it was of interest to examine the independent effects of sway position and sway direction on the efficacy of the triceps surae Ia pathway, as reflected by the Hoffman (H)-reflex amplitude, during standing. Eighteen participants, tested under two different exper...

Stretch 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 ...
