Increased antagonist muscle activity in cervical SCI patients suggests altered reciprocal inhibition during elbow contractions
Objective After spinal cord injury (SCI), the antagonist muscles activation is increased during
voluntary contractions and reflex conditioning protocols. This increase can be the result of …
