Condition of the soleus muscle center of the immobilized human limb

The effect of immobilization of the lower limb on the state of the soleus muscle center and its electrical activity was studied. Using the H-reflex technique, a decrease in the reflex excitability of motoneurons and an increase in recurrent inhibition on the immobilization side compared to the intact side were established. A decrease in the amplitude of the M-response of the immobilized soleus muscle was also found.
