The size of the soleus H-reflex was measured after a slow (17 deg/s) passive stretch of ankle plantarflexors and compared to its control size without muscle stretch in ten neurologically healthy subjects and in six spastic spinal-cord-injured patients. Two seconds after the end of the stretch, the s
In humans H-reflexes are suppressed during early spinal shock. In animals rostral cord injury results in loss of segmental reflexes within seconds. If H-reflexes persist under general anesthesia, can they be used to monitor the integrity of the rostral cord? In part I of this study, we recorded H-re
