Evident difference in the excitability of the motoneuron pool between normal subjects and patients with spasticity assessed by a new method using H-reflex and M-response.

abstract：:Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is well known to be released from injured or inflamed tissues, and to excite/sensitize nociceptors in response to heat and mechanical stimulation. To determine whether muscle releases ATP when it is compressed, we measured ATP release from the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL). In add...
