Abstract
We studied effects of test H-reflex size on reciprocal Ia inhibition in for earm muscles. In both healthy control subjects and hemiplegic patients, the amount of Ia inhibition decreased as the test H-reflex size increased. It is possible that forearm reciprocal Ia inhibition in hemiplegics reported p reviously might be underestimated due to larger test H-reflexes used in the hemiplegics than in the controls.
