Comparison of spinal myotatic reflexes in human adults investigated with cross-correlation and signal averaging methods

A cross-correlation method for recording spinal myotatic reflexes has been developed to meet the need for brief test periods in babies and children and subjects with central neurological pathology. In normal adult subjects the method has been validated by comparing excitatory and inhibitory reflexes...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A cross-correlation method for recording spinal myotatic reflexes has been developed to meet the need for brief test periods in babies and children and subjects with central neurological pathology. In normal adult subjects the method has been validated by comparing excitatory and inhibitory reflexes obtained with cross-correlation with those obtained with conventional signal averaging. In the cross-correlation method a pseudo-random binary sequence of 64 brief tendon taps was delivered in
