Tonic vibration reflex is a sustained contraction of a muscle subjected to vibration.This reflex is caused by vibratory activation of muscle spindles â muscle receptors sensitive to stretch.Tonic vibration reflex is evoked by placing a vibrator â which in this case is typically an electrical motor with an eccentric load on its shaft â on a muscle's tendon.30â100 Hz vibration activates receptors of the skin, tendons and, most importantly, muscle spindles.Muscle spindle discharges are sent to the spinal cord through afferent nerve fibers, where they activate monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflex arcs, causing the muscle to contract.0â100 Hz vibration activates receptors of the skin, tendons and, most importantly, muscle spindles.

1 The abnormal plantar reflex, or Babinski reflex, is the elicitation of toe extension from the wrong receptive field, that is, the sole of the foot. 2  Thus a noxious stimulus to the sole of the foot produces extension of the great toe instead of the normal flexion response. The plantar reflex is a nociceptive segmental spinal reflex that serves the purpose of protecting the sole of the foot. 2  The clinical significance lies in the fact that the abnormal response reliably indicates metabolic or structural abnormality in the corticospinal system upstream from the segmental reflex.
