Posture-related changes of soleus H-reflex excitability.

abstract：:Biochemical, morphologic, and biophysical studies support the concept that the red blood cell (RBC) membrane is altered in both myotonic muscular dystrophy (MyD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). These studies have not identified a primary metabolic defect that would explain the various alterations of membrane pr...
