Reflex inhibition of the human quadriceps in the presence of knee joint damage by Stokes, Maria

“…The nature of reflex inhibition has been studied in patients undergoing arthrotomy and meniscectomy in order to find ways of preventing inhibition. The maximal voluntary activation (MVA) of quadriceps was recorded, using surface integrated electromyography, during straight leg isometric contractions before end after surgery. …”
