| Résumé : |
Tendon-jerk reflexes were tested in normal, fullterm infants aged one to four days. EMGs were recorded from gastrocnemius-soleus and tibialis anterior muscles. Reflex-like EMGs were evoked when tapping sites which should not excite the muscles from which that activity is recorded--this included the simultaneous activation of antagonistic muscles by a tendon tap. The possible mechanisms which could produce these results are discussed, as are the possible relationships between the proposed pathways and the reciprocally excitatory paths in cerebral palsy. |
