Identification of stretch reflex thresholds during passive stretching of elbow flexors. A: spastic muscle (Brachioradialis (BR)) begins to be activated (arrow) during passive stretching above a certain, velocity-dependent joint angle (DSRT). Triceps brachii (TB) was shortening during the passive elbow extension. B: tonic stretch reflex threshold (TSRT) at which spasticity begins to be manifested is determined from linear regression across DSRT points (TSRT = DSRT at zero velocity).
