A DIRECT muscular contraction by an electrical stimulation (tib. ant., gastroc., biceps femoris, rectus femoris) in an unanæsthetized rabbit produces an overall reaction in the muscles of the ...

EXCITATION of Golgi tendon organs by direct electrical stimulation of human muscles produces an autogenous inhibition 1,2 of 80–100 msec. In patients suffering from Parkinson's diseasethis inhibition ...

Autogenic inhibition is a neuromuscular reflex that results in a reduction in muscle activity following an excessive or sustained increase in tension and stimulation of Golgi tendon organs (GTO). If ...
