Effect of proprioception on H- reflex in normal subjects

Narkeesh , Kaur Gurpreet

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Many studies have been done on effect of proprioceptive stimuli on Hreflex but all have controversial results and comparitively less number of studies have been done to find out the effect of traction and approximation on H-reflex. In this study effect of traction and approximation was studied on 30 healthy normal subjects which included both males and females. The mean , standard deviation, tvalue F-value and post hoc analysis for all the variables was significant It was concluded that H – reflex parameters show change during traction and approximation and also during standing and sitting.
