- evoked spinal reflex [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]In terms of evoked spinal reflexes, modulations of spinal inhibitory inter-neuronal circuits are often assessed by the Ia-afferent-mediated H-reflex. Results of H reflexes in studies with training are tightly coupled with excitability changes of small alpha motor neurons. The first volitional (V) wave, an electrophysiological variant of the H-reflex, is used to indicate the net excitation of the motorneurone pool.
