An oscillatory component of the H-reflex.

PMCID: PMC490899  PMID: 6262460

Abstract

H-reflex recovery curves studied in 57 normal volunteers could be divided into three groups: one with sinusoidal properties having one or more periods, one having primarily linear or exponential properties, and a third, indeterminate group.
