Reciprocal Inhibition Versus Reciprocal Facilitation In Spinal Cord Injury Patients
Reciprocal inhibition is a medulla spinalis control mechanism that facilitates motor activities in healthy people. As the agonist muscle contracts, the antagonist muscle is inhibited so that the agonist action can take place properly. In the literature, there are studies showing that in patients with upper motor neuron lesions, this reverses, and reciprocal facilitation occurs instead of inhibition. However, there is no clear situation in this regard, there is a need for more methodologically sound studies. Our aim in this study is to investigate the presence of reciprocal facilitation in patients with spinal cord lesions (SCL).
