Can neck muscle spindle afferents activate fusimotor neurons of the lower limb?
Dorsal neck vibration increases spinal reflex excitability of the TS in relaxed and seated subjects, but not through fusimotor excitation.
This study shows a significant prognostic value of early post-infarction ischaemia detected by Holter monitoring and an exercise test. Distant, painful ST-SD greater than 3 mm were more powerful determinants of poor prognosis than others. Electrode placement during Holter monitoring appears to be very important, particularly in post-infarction patients.
