The soft palate is a vital part of our oral anatomy, enabling us to speak and swallow effectively. By strengthening the soft ...

Macrophages, immune cells typically known for fighting infections, have been discovered to play a vital role in controlling movement and linking neural activity with metabolic demands.

It’s quick, you only need an exercise mat and it’ll leave your muscles feeling stretched ... and works alongside the stretch reflex to prevent injury from sudden overstretching, overexertion ...

It accurately and effectively elicits muscle stretch reflexes, superficial or cutaneous reflexes, as well as plantar and abdominal reflexes, with less effort and greater patient comfort.

This gives a slight but quick stretch to the tendon, resulting in a reflex muscle contraction. Deep-tendon reflexes to be examined are at the elbow (biceps and triceps), wrist (brachioradialis ...

with no sensory impairment and normal muscle stretch reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine in the supine position showed segmental myelopathy with cervical spinal cord ...

Conclusions: Acute WBV causes neural potentiation of the stretch reflex loop as shown by the improved ACMVJ and flexibility performance. Additionally, muscle groups less proportionally exposed to ...
