Disentangling acceleration-, velocity-, and duration-dependency of the short- and medium-latency stretch reflexes in the ankle plantarflexors
Keyword(s):
Previous research and definitions of the stretch reflex and spasticity have focused on velocity dependence. We showed that perturbation acceleration, velocity, and duration all shape the M1 and M2 response, often via nonlinear or interacting dependencies. Consequently, systematic execution and reporting of stretch reflex and spasticity studies, avoiding uncontrolled parameter interdependence, is essential for proper understanding of the reflex neurophysiology.
