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. 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.
reflex. a reflected involuntary action or movement; the sum total of any particular automatic response mediated by the nervous system. A reflex is built into the nervous system and does not need the intervention of conscious thought to take effect. positive reaction is a sharp contraction of the muscle of which the tendon is part. The patellar reflex is the best known of these reflexes. Absence indicates a defect in the reflex arc, an exaggerated response suggests an upper motor neuron lesion. Called also myotactic reflex.
