| Abstract |
The H-reflex response, and in particular the excitability cycle of spinal motor-neurones, were studied in a group of 12 females aged 19-41 years suffering from marked peripheral neuropathy. Motor and sensitive nerve conduction, electromyography, and clinical features were considered. An increased excitability of α-motor neurones was evident indicating spinal involvement in these patients. |
