Effects of changing wrist positions on finger flexor hypertonia in stroke survivors
2006
Muscle and Nerve
Preserved Fulltext
In 12 stroke survivors, we recorded torque and electromyographic (EMG) responses of extrinsic finger flexors to constant-velocity rotation of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the affected hand, ...
Muscle length changes were imposed by changing wrist angle between 0°, 25°, and 50°of flexion. ...
The baseline EMG (EMG BG ) was estimated from the first 200 ms of the trial, prior to initiation of the stretch, 17 and the reflex EMG activity was estimated from a 100-ms window centered on the peak EMG ...

Data of joint angle and resistant torque were collected from 21 chronic stroke patients before, and 4 and 12 weeks post BoTN-A injection using NeuroFlexor, which is a motorized force measurement device ...
The decreased neural component was mainly due to the increased motoneuron pool threshold, which is interpreted as a net excitatory and inhibitory inputs to the motoneuron pool. ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of motor imagery on spinal segmental excitability by recording the reflex responses to externally applied stretch of the extrinsic finger flexors ...
These observations support the view that effects must have been mediated by imagery-related subthreshold activation of spinal motoneurons and/or interneurons, rather than by long-latency transcortical ...
To estimate the latency of monosynaptic pathways to motoneurons innervating finger flexors, tendon tap tests were performed in three randomly selected subjects. ...

Spasticity is one of many consequences after stroke. It is characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in resistance during passive stretch, resulting from hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex. ...
The severity of sternocleidomastoid muscle spasticity could be estimated based on abnormality of head posture. ...
This new balance could be reflected by a change in the resting angle of a joint, i.e., the more spastic the muscle is, the more abnormal resting angle the involved joint maintains. ...
