Sensory and motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI) has been considered functionally
complete resulting in permanent paralysis with no recovery of voluntary movement, standing …

Individuals affected by motor complete spinal cord injury are unable to stand, walk, or move
their lower limbs voluntarily; this diagnosis normally implies severe limitations for functional …

Introduction Previous studies support modular organization of locomotor circuitry
contributing to the activation of muscles in a spatially and temporally organized manner …

Depression of the Hoffman reflex (H‐reflex) is used to examine spinal control mechanisms
during exercise, fatigue, and vibration and in response to training. H‐reflex depression …

H-reflex paired-pulse depression is gradually lost within the first year post-SCI, a process
believed to reflect reorganization of segmental interneurons after the loss of normal …

We investigated the effects of vertical vibration and compressive load on soleus H-reflex
amplitude and postactivation depression. We hypothesized that, in the presence of a …

This study aimed to investigate changes of post-activation depression in two groups of
patients with or without spastic equinovarus deformity (SED). Paired and independent t-tests …

Background Mechanical loads induced through muscle contraction, vibration, or
compressive forces are thought to modulate tissue plasticity. With the emergence of …
