The inhibitory effects on flexors of electrical stimulation of a distal peripheral nerve were investigated in 7 paraplegic patients having a complete spinal cord section. The stimuli (3-50 mA) were applied to the sural nerve. Their effects were investigated on: 1) the ipsi- and contralateral H refle

Hypersensitivity of the flexor reflexes to input from forcesensitive muscle afferents may contribute to the prevalence and severity of muscle spasms in patients with spinal cord injuries. In the present study, we triggered flexor reflexes with constant-velocity ankle movements into endrange dorsifle
The effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied to the area of the sural nerve on the early and late electromyographic component of the flexor reflex was studied in 20 patients with complete and incomplete transversal spinal cord injuries. A marked, progressive, and prolonge
