H-reflexThe H-reflex is a reflectory reaction of muscles after electrical stimulation of sensory fibers (Ia afferents stemming from muscle spindles) in their innervating nerves (for example, those located behind the knee). Additional recommended knowledgeH-reflex is analogous to the mechanically induced spinal stretch reflex (for example, knee jerk reflex) because both cases muscle-spindle innervating fibers are activated. H-reflex is used to assess fitness of astronauts. H-reflex was the first medical experiment completed on the International Space Station. HistoryIt was first described by Paul Hoffmann (hence the name) in 1910. [1] See also
