A Study of the Conditioned Patellar Reflex
نویسنده
چکیده
The object of this investigation * was to determine the possibility of forming a conditioned knee jerk, and, if formed, to study the rate of its formation, its stability, and the effect of varying such factors in the procedure as length of training and the conditioning stimulus. Finally, it was desired to study the course of contraction in the conditioned and unconditional knee jerks and in the voluntary contraction of the quadriceps muscle-group.

بررسی تأثیر Taping کشکک روی زمان پاسخ رفلکسی عضلات VMO و VL در بیماران مبتلا به سندرم درد مفصل کشککی ـ رانی
Patellar taping is one of the method of treatment of patellofemoral pain but effect of patellar taping on VMO and VL reflex as a one of mechanism of pain relieve is questionable. The purpose of this study were to investigate the effect of patellar taping on the timing of the onset of VMO and VL reflex in patients with patellofemoral pain and to compare the obtained of VMO and VL refle...
متن کاملConditioned Patellar Tendon Reflex Function in Children With and Without Developmental Coordination Disorders
A conditioned patellar tendon reflex paradigm was used to study the contributions of crossed spinal and supraspinal inputs to the output of the alpha motoneuron pool in children with and without developmental coordination disorders. The basic patellar tendon reflex response was exaggerated in children with developmental coordination disorders. Crossed spinal and supraspinal influences on the ex...
متن کاملDoes total knee arthroplasty affect the patellar tendon reflex?
Background There may be a perception in clinical practice that any deficit in the patellar tendon reflex arc could be attributed to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There is no evidence in the literature to support this conclusion. Methods Sixty-six knees were examined to determine whether TKA affects the patellar tendon reflex. Results There was no difference observed between the knees with a ...
متن کاملInfluence of Age on Patellar Tendon Reflex Response
BACKGROUND A clinical parameter commonly used to assess the neurological status of an individual is the tendon reflex response. However, the clinical method of evaluation often leads to subjective conclusions that may differ between examiners. Moreover, attempts to quantify the reflex response, especially in older age groups, have produced inconsistent results. This study aims to examine the in...
متن کاملEffects of chlorpromazine on spinal cord reflex mechanisms.
-The effects of chlorpromazine (CPZ) on the patellar reflex and segmentally evoked spinal cord potentials were determined in the high spinal and hemiscctioned spinal cat preparations. CPZ in doses of 1-32 mg/kg given intravenously (as an accumulative dose) produced no statistically significant alteration of the patellar reflex and segmentally evoked monosynaptic potentials. The segmentally evok...
