Postexercise facilitation of reflexes is not common in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.

Abstract:

:Postexercise facilitation (PEF) with clinical reflexes, H-reflex, and T-reflexes at the ankle and knee was systematically studied in 16 patients with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). PEF was observed in ankle and knee deep tendon reflexes in five patients, in H-reflex in three patients, and in T-reflexes in six patients. When all reflex tests were combined, 7 (43.7%) of 16 patients showed PEF by at least one test. The authors conclude that the PEF of reflexes, the most helpful diagnostic clinical marker for LEMS, is not common.
