Advances in physical rehabilitation of multiple sclerosis
No full textMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disorder that heavily affects quality of life (QoL) and demands a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach. This includes multiple protocols and techniques of physical rehabilitation, ranging from conventional exercise paradigms to noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS). Recently, studies showing the clinical efficacy of physical rehabilitation have remarkably increased, suggesting its disease-modifying potential
Cyclic modulation of the H-reflex in a wrist flexor during rhythmic flexion-extension movements of the ipsilateral foot
No full textIn 12 subjects, each sitting on an armchair with the right forearm prone, the H-reflex elicited in the resting flexor carpi radialis muscle underwent cyclic excitability changes correlated with rhythmic flexion-extension movements of the ipsilateral foot (frequency of oscillations between 1.5 and 2.5 Hz). During foot plantar flexion, the H-reflex underwent a clear-cut increase, the maximum facilitation falling, in most subjects, within the second half of that phase: then, a gradual reduction in size led the reflex amplitude back to the initial value at the end of foot dorsal extension. If present also when the wrist and the ankle are moved together, this facilitation should favour the in-phase (isodirectional) association between movements and, conversely, hinder the anti-phase coupling
