Russell Brain 4 endorses the theory that extensor hypertonia depends upon the integrity of the vestibulospinal tracts and that destruction of the latter results in a dominant flexor reflex: "After ...

In the bottom figure, the reversal current I_r shown exaggerated for clarity. Suppression of Crossed Extensor Reflex. Force developed in the Soleus muscle (Fs) by spinal reflex from skin afferents on ...

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide, affecting millions each year. Among its most ...

By enhancing the spinal circuit excitability and activating reflexes such as the crossed extensor reflex, the system aims to improve lower limb coordination and gait efficiency.

LET us revert now to the reflex “standing” exhibited by the decerebrate animal. We traced it to a postural contraction of the antigravity muscles, in each of which the contraction was due to a ...

The myotatic reflex of the knee-extensor obtains after pre-collicular as well as after inter-collicular transection. The reflex retains tonic character after exclusion of the otic labyrinths.

The four factors are: no corneal reflex, no cough reflex, no motor response or extensor motor response, and high scores on the oxygenation index.

The abdominal wall was not involved in the flexion reflex. The right lower extremity failed to demonstrate full triple flexion, but was considerably stronger in extensor manifestations than the left.
