## Abstract Involuntary muscle contractions are common after spinal cord injury (SCI). Increased sensitivity to Ia muscle afferent input may contribute to the development of these spasms. Since tendon vibration results in a period of postactivation depression of the Ia synapse, we sought to determi
The electrical and mechanical properties of paralyzed human thenar muscles were measured in response to supramaximal stimulation of the median nerve in individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury. These data were compared to those recorded from control muscles. Spontaneous motor unit activi
