High-intensity cutaneous stimuli inhibit tonically firing motor neurons resulting in a silent period (CSP) in EMG activity. To determine the central nervous system (CNS) circuitry of this inhibitory reflex, soleus H reflexes evoked by tibial nerve stimuli were conditioned by high-intensity sural sti
The transient suppression of muscle contraction during the cutaneous silent period (CSP) could be produced either through postsynaptic inhibition of motoneurons or through presynaptic inhibition of the excitatory inputs to motoneurons that sustain voluntary contraction. We sought to delineate the me
Cutaneous silent period (CSP) was measured on stimulating digits 2 and 5 in 19 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and compared with 20 healthy volunteers. In 2 patients with severe CTS, CSP was absent on digit 2 but present on digit 5. In mild/moderate CTS digit 2 CSP mean duration was 50.9
