After stroke bidirectional modulation of soleus stretch reflex amplitude emerges during rhythmic arm cycling

After stroke bidirectional modulation of soleus stretch reflex amplitude emerges during rhythmic arm cycling

Objectives: After stroke a typical presentation is exaggerated stretch reflexes (SR) on the more affected (MA) side. The present study evaluated the contribution of presynaptic inhibition (PSI) induced by arm cycling and homosynaptic depression (HD) to the modulation of hyperreflexia at the ankle af...
