Modulation of reciprocal inhibition at the wrist as a neurophysiological correlate of tremor suppression: a pilot healthy subject study

It has been shown that Ia afferents inhibit muscle activity of the ipsilateral antagonist, a mechanism known as reciprocal inhibition. Stimulation of these afferents may be explored for the therapeutic reduction of pathological tremor (Essential Tremor or due Parkinson's Disease, for example). However, only a few studies have investigated reciprocal inhibition of wrist flexor / extensor motor control. The main goal of this study was to...
