Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive electrical and magnetic stimulation of the brain, spinal cord, roots and peripheral nerves: Basic principles and procedures for routine clinical and research application: An updated report from an I.F.C.N. Committee

TL;DR: These guidelines provide an up-date of previous IFCN report on “Non-invasive electrical and magnetic stimulation of the brain, spinal cord and roots: basic principles and procedures for routine clinical application” and include some recent extensions and developments.
Journal ArticleDOI

The responses of human muscle spindle endings to vibration of non‐contracting muscles.

TL;DR: The responses of primary endings to tendon taps were reduced during muscle vibration, a reduction which probably contributes to vibration‐induced suppression of tendon jerks.
Journal ArticleDOI

The responses of human muscle spindle endings to vibration during isometric contraction.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the tonic vibration reflex, like the tendon jerk reflex, operates predominantly or exclusively on alpha motoneurones and that it does not utilize the same cortically originating efferent pathways as are used in the performance of voluntary contractions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Threshold tracking techniques in the study of human peripheral nerve.

TL;DR: Threshold measurements seem well suited for studies of metabolic and toxic neuropathies but insensitive to demyelination, until suitable equipment becomes more widely available, their full potential is unlikely to be realized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monosynaptic and oligosynaptic contributions to human ankle jerk and H-reflex

TL;DR: It is argued that if the rising phase of the increase in excitability of the soleus motoneuron pool produced by tendon percussion or by electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve lasts more than a few milliseconds, these reflexes are unlikely to be exclusively monosynaptic.
