H-reflex modulation during gait in multiple sclerosis patients with spasticity.

TL;DR: It is found that the reflex modulation is impaired in moderate spastic patients at both a strong and a weak afferent input to the motoneuron pool in consistency with studies on severeSpastic patients.

Role of Ia afferents in the soleus motoneurones. Inhibition during a tibialis anterior voluntary contraction in man.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the early inhibition of the soleus H-reflex is only due to suprasegmental activity, whereas during the secondary part of the inhibition there is a supplementary inhibitory action brought about by Ia fibres from tibialis anterior.

Consideration of bulbar and suprabulbar afferent influences upon speech motor coordination and programming

TL;DR: In this article, the potential roles of afferent influences upon speech motor programming were evaluated, and it was suggested that autogenic or closed-loop feedback processes may not play a significant role in speech motor programs, except during learning or in adaptation to unusual disruptions, whether introduced experimentally or naturally, and afferent influence is nevertheless very important in speech control and may be acting through open-loop, feedforward pathways to reduce the coordinative complexity associated with the rigid timing requirements for multiple speech movements and to allow for potential errors to be elminated, predictively, in the actual

Extinction of the Hoffman reflex by antidromic conduction

TL;DR: It is shown that one cause of the extinction of the Hoffmann reflex by antidromic conduction in the alpha motor axons must be a relative refractoriness of the motoneuron pool.
