The ease with which we perform tasks such as opening the lid of a jar, in which the two
hands execute quite different actions, belies the fact that there is a strong tendency for the …

The H‐reflex as a tool in neurophysiology: Its limitations and uses in understanding nervous system function

JE Misiaszek - Muscle & Nerve: Official Journal of the American …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The Hoffmann reflex (H‐reflex) is extensively used as both a research and clinical tool. The
ease with which this reflex can be elicited in several muscles throughout the body makes it …

Neural control of rhythmic human arm movement: phase dependence and task modulation of Hoffmann reflexes in forearm muscles

EP Zehr, DF Collins, A Frigon… - Journal of …, 2003 - journals.physiology.org
Although we move our arms rhythmically during walking, running, and swimming, we know
little about the neural control of such movements. Our working hypothesis is that neural …
