Contraction of upper limb muscles in healthy subjects was used to investigate presynaptic inhibition at spinal level. The H reflex recorded in the forearm flexor muscles in response to median nerve stimulation was depressed in amplitude from 400 ms to 1 s after a muscle twitch induced by transcrania

In this article we studied spinal and cortical inhibitory mechanisms in patients with Huntington's disease. To evaluate spinal cord inhibitory circuitries, we assessed reciprocal inhibition between antagonist forearm muscles and the recovery cycle of the H reflex in the flexor carpi radialis. Patien
We studied the effect of botulinum toxin A injection on the abnormal presynaptic phase of reciprocal inhibition between forearm antagonist muscles in patients with essential tremor. Ten patients with essential tremor were investigated before and 1 month after botulinum injection. Reciprocal inhibiti
