Abstract：
:There exists evidence to support the notion that the segmental reflex system is not fixed and inflexible, but rather is highly modifiable under a variety of circumstances. In this study the H-wave and M-wave recruitment curves were obtained from 19 subjects, utilizing the procedures outlined by Hugon. Each subject was tested on one day under two randomly administered conditions: (1) standing; and (2) prone. Once in place, the recording and stimulating electrodes were not removed until the completion of the study, to ensure that exact placement was maintained. A percutaneous electrical stimulus (1 ms pulse) was utilized to elicit the pulse. The current was monitored with a current probe, and was increased in 2 mA increments from zero until a maximal M-wave was obtained. An analysis of variance revealed significant increases in the amplitude of the H-wave (P < 0.05) when the subject was prone with no significant increases in the M-wave. The results indicate significantly higher H/M ratios with the subjects in the prone position. Therefore, it is concluded that H-reflex amplitude is tonically depressed when the subject is maintaining a standing position.
