The H-reflex (or Hoffmann's reflex) is a reflectory reaction of muscles after electrical stimulation of sensory fibers (Ia afferents stemming from muscle spindles) in their innervating nerves (for …

H reflexes can be obtained from many upper and lower limb muscles (e.g., tibialis anterior, the thenar muscles and forearm extensors) during a voluntary contraction of the test muscle. The …

The first type of “late response” was described by Hoffmann in 1918 hence it is named as H-Reflex. The pathway for this reflex and the significance of abnormalities is easiest to …

Originally described by Paul Hoffmann in 1910, 1 and later given his name, 2 the Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) is an electrically induced reflex analogous to the mechanically induced spinal stretch …

The H-reflex is an electrically stimulated response that can be used to assess changes in motoneuron reflex excitability, Ia inhibition, Ib inhibition/facilitation,and presynaptic inhibition.

The H-reflex is the electrical equivalent of the monosynaptic stretch reflex and is normally obtained in only a few muscles. It is elicited by selectively stimulating the Ia fibers of the …

Jan 1, 2024 · An H-reflex (also called a “Hoffmann reflex”) is the earliest response of a muscle to stimulation of large afferent fibers in the muscle nerve. If the nerve stimulation also excites …

The Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) is extensively used as both a research and clinical tool. The ease with which this reflex can be elicited in several muscles throughout the body makes it an …

The H-reflex (Hoffmann's reflex; named after the physiologist Paul Hoffmann) is triggered through the electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves (Hoffmann, 1910, 1918). The physiological …

Apr 7, 2016 · H reflexes can be recorded from virtually all muscles that have muscle spindles, but reflex reinforcement may be required for the reflex response to be demonstrable. This can …
