H-reflex behavior in glue (n-hexane) neuropathy

Abstract

The H-reflex response, and in particular the excitability cycle of spinal motor-neurones, were studied in a group of patients suffering from glue (n-hexane) neuropathy. Motor and sensitive nerve conduction, EMG, and clinical features were also considered. The results, showing an increased excitability of alpha-motorneurones, give evidence of spinal involvement in these patients.
