Abstract: | The reflex motor responses of 16 symmetric leg muscles evoked by transcutaneous electric stimulation of spinal nerves at the
L2-L3 or L3-L4 level were studied in subjects with signs of lumbar nerve compression. The evoked responses agreed with Ia afferent activation through monosynaptic neuronal circuits. Their monosynaptic nature was demonstrated by amplitude changes
in response to a conditioning stimulus and continuous tendon vibration. Multisegmental monosynaptic responses (MMRs) of large
distal flexors containing large numbers of slow motor units were subjected to the greatest modifications against a background
of lumbar nerve compression. |
