- W1911969633 abstract "1. The hypothesis that the exaggerated tendon jerks and stretch reflexes that follow chronic spinal cord lesions in humans result from alterations in transmission from group I muscle afferents to motoneurons was tested by making observations on nine normal subjects and 25 patients with spinal cord lesions. All the patients had increased tendon jerks, one-third of them had both increased tendon jerks and increased, velocity-dependent stretch reflexes (i.e.g spasticity). 2. Changes in the firing probability of single, voluntary-activated soleus or tibialis anterior motor units during stimulation of the muscle nerve below the threshold of the alpha-motoneuron axons were used to derive the characteristics of the postsynaptic potentials produced by group I volleys in single motoneurons. Paired stimuli were used to test how multiple volleys in group I muscle afferents were transmitted to motoneurons. 3. Stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve produced a short-latency period of increased firing probability representing the homonymous composite Ia excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) in all soleus motoneurons tested. There was no detectable alteration in the magnitude, duration, or profile of the short-latency facilitation in the patients with spinal lesions when compared with normal subjects. 4. In patients with traumatic spinal cord lesions less than 8 wk in duration the magnitude of the facilitation representing the composite Ia EPSP was significantly larger than normal, although only one out of the four patients in this group had spasticity. 5. In the patients with the greatest spasticity, group I volleys produced a second period of facilitation 11-15 ms after the facilitation representing the composite Ia EPSP. This is presumed to represent enhanced transmission through polysynaptic pathways from group I afferents to motoneurons. 6. In normal subjects the facilitation of motoneurons produced by the second of two group I volleys is greater 5 and 10 ms after the first volley and less 20, 30, and 50 ms after the first volley. These changes involve at least two factors: 1) changes in excitability of peripheral nerves and 2) changes in transmission at the Ia-motoneuron synapse. 7. In patients with spinal lesions the facilitation produced by the second of two muscle-afferent volleys was less depressed at the 30-ms interstimulus interval. 8. Thus two separate abnormalities have been uncovered in human subjects with chronic spinal lesions: 1) a change in the transmission of multiple volleys from muscle afferents to motoneurons and 2) an increase in transmission through polysynaptic pathways from Ia afferents to motoneurons. Both could contribute to the increased tendon jerks and exaggerated stretch reflexes." @default.
