Purpose: The H reflex recruitment curve represents the gold standard for quantifying changes in spinal circuitries. However, there is no agreement on how many stimulations should be applied for each parameter. Thus, we explored the impact of varying the number of stimulations (3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 stimuli per intensity) on between-day reliability of soleus H reflex.

: Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) affects balance, often assessed by changes in traditional center of pressure (COP) parameters. Spatiotemporal measures of COP and time-to-boundary (TTB) analysis may offer improved sensitivity in detecting postural deviations associated with ALAS. However, the neurophysiological mechanism underlying these changes remains unknown.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition characterized by significant sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction, often following trauma or nerve injury. Historically known as causalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, CRPS manifests as severe, disproportionate pain, often accompanied by hyperalgesia, allodynia, trophic changes, and motor impairments. Classified into type I (without nerve injury) and type II (associated with nerve damage), CRPS exhibits a complex pathophysiology involving peripheral and central sensitization, neurogenic inflammation, maladaptive brain plasticity, and potential autoimmune and psychological influences.

Recruitment input-output curves of transspinal evoked potentials that represent the net output of spinal neuronal networks during which cortical, spinal and peripheral inputs are integrated as well as motor evoked potentials and H-reflexes are used extensively in research as neurophysiological biomarkers to establish physiological or pathological motor behavior and post-treatment recovery. A comparison between different sigmoidal models to fit the transspinal evoked potentials recruitment curve and estimate the parameters of physiological importance has not been performed. This study sought to address this gap by fitting eight sigmoidal models (Boltzmann, Hill, Log-Logistic, Log-Normal, Weibull-1, Weibull-2, Gompertz, Extreme Value Function) to the transspinal evoked potentials recruitment curves of soleus and tibialis anterior recorded under four different cathodal stimulation settings.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effects of neural and muscular factors on lower limb explosive strength in male college sprinters, and build models based on those factors to identify the key neuromuscular factors that predict the rate of force development (RFD) and 30 m sprint time.
Method: 15 male college sprinters were recruited in this study, with 100 m personal best times under 10.93 s.
