- [Compression syndromes in the disc-radicular conflict in patients with intervertebral disc lesion].
- Sitel' AB, Kuz'minov KO, Kanaev SP, Nikonov SV, Beliakov VV.AbstractOne thousand and thirty patients with proved L(5)/S(1)disc herniations were examined. The dynamics of disease in acute stage was studied using ultrasonography and electromyography in 3 groups of patients: 280 with lumboischialgia, 520 with the root syndrome and 230 controls without back pain. It has been shown that edematous epiduritis and venous stas in the superincumbent spinal movement segment is a main pathogenetic mechanism of acute phase of the disc-radicular conflict. Focal myelopathy is a pathogenetic mechanism of radiculopathy in the disc-recticular conflict. Compression and reflex syndromes are caused by the common mechanisms and their differentiation by clinical presentations has a conditional character.

- Responsiveness of the H reflex to loading and posture in patients following stroke.
- Hwang IS1, Lin CF, Tung LC, Wang CH.Author information 1School of Physical Therapy, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan.AbstractThe objective of the research was to examine the effects of loading and posture on motoneuronal excitability of the triceps surae (TS) for patients with hemiplegia. Twelve healthy subjects and 12 patient subjects with post-stroke hemiparesis (onset period: 3-60 months) were enrolled in this study. The subjects were instructed to remain in quiet sitting with the test knee straight and three standing conditions of different superincumbent loads by shifting body weight to the test leg (10%, 50%, and 90% of body weight), while the H reflexes and M waves of the TS were measured. The results clearly indicated that H reflex amplitudes were not affected by different loading conditions in standing for both healthy subjects and patients who had a previous stroke. In addition, the H reflex amplitude in quiet standing for healthy subjects was significantly downward modulated relative to that in relaxed sitting with the test knee straight, but this posturally driven modulation was impaired in patients following stroke. Current electrophysiological findings imply that body weight as a means for rehabilitation facilitation had little immediate effect on paretic TS, and absence in postural gating of reflex excitability appeared to be an incentive for postural instability resulting from post-stroke hemiparesis.

- Effect of lower extremity weightbearing load on motoneuron excitability in able-bodied subjects.
- Field-Fote EC1, Hufford T, Kerfoot N, Kizer S, Calancie B.Author information 1Division of Physical Therapy, University of Miami School of Medicine, Miami, Florida, USA. edee@miami.eduAbstractBody weight support (BWS) is becoming an increasingly tool popular in rehabilitation settings, but little is known about how weight support effects reflex activity. Lower extremity Hoffman (H) reflex and tendon reflex responses were used to assess motoneuron excitability as a function of static lower extremity weightbearing load in neurologically normal individuals. Factors that are known to affect reflex activity, such as body orientation, movement and task phase were kept constant. Twenty three subjects were studied under three static load conditions (50%, 75% and 100% weightbearing) using four different stimulus conditions (soleus H-reflex, soleus H-reflex with vibration, Achilles tendon reflex, quadriceps tendon reflex). Load had no effect on any of the reflexes studied; we hypothesize that under static conditions, lower extremity reflexes are not affected by superincumbent load.
