Article Synopsis
- Approximately 5%-11% of neurologically normal individuals exhibit an extensor plantar response (EPR), prompting a study to distinguish between physiological and pathological EPRs.
- The study involved 43 patients with pyramidal lesions and 113 healthy controls, revealing that pathological EPRs were significantly more reproducible and sensitive to stimulation compared to those in normal subjects.
- A scoring system based on specific features of EPR was developed, showing that a score of 3 or higher effectively indicates a pathological origin, with notable sensitivity and specificity.
