"Hoffmann G, Kamper DG, Kahn JH, Rymer WZ, Schmit BD. Modulation of stretch reflexes of the finger flexors by sensory feedback from the proximal upper limb poststroke," scientists in the United States report (see also Neurophysiology).
"J Neurophysiol 102: 1420-1429, 2009. First published July 1, 2009; doi:10.1152/jn.90950.2008. Neural coupling of proximal and distal upper limb segments may have functional implications in the recovery of hemiparesis after stroke. The goal of the present study was to investigate whether the stretch reflex response magnitude of spastic finger flexor muscles poststroke is influenced by sensory input from the shoulder and the elbow ...
