We have also examined the effects of teeth clenching on the stretch reflex of the arm abduction muscles in an attempt to elucidate the underlying physiological mechanism. ... weight positioned above the head (catch); (5) standing up (stand up); and (6) releasing the weight (down). The process of 1st pull, 2nd pull and catch in weightlifting ...
The front teeth that made contact with the bite bar during the 40 N and 80 N clench conditions were locally anesthetised (LA) with an injection of Lignocaine (2% Xylocaine with adrenaline 1:80,000; Dentsply Pharmaceutical) into the mucosa around the teeth. Changes in the H-reflex curve were examined at each TC level before and during …

Secondly, it has previously been demonstrated that H-reflex evoked in human leg muscle can be facilitated by the concurrent activation of other body part (such as making fists, or clenching teeth), i.e., a physiological phenomenon known as Jendrassik maneuver (Pasztor, 2004; Tuncer et al., 2007).
However, such increases in postural sway when maintaining ICP seems paradoxical, since several clinical investigations have shown that clenching the teeth facilitates the stretch reflex pathway in ...
Clenching the fists often enhances the knee jerk reflex. This is an example of _____. ... Which of the following is NOT a property of the stretch reflex? It is a disynaptic reflex. An example of the brain affecting spinal reflexes is the replacement of the _____ by the _____. Babinski sign; plantar reflex.
The stretch reflex (also called the myotatic stretch reflex, the muscle stretch reflex and sometimes the knee-jerk reflex), is a pre-programmed response by the body to a stretch stimulus in the muscle. …
Alpha-gamma coactivation or the stretch reflex occurs when the alpha and gamma motor neurons are ... Several techniques can strengthen the amplitude of the reflex. These include clenching the teeth, performing the Jendrassik maneuver by interlocking fingers and pulling, and diverting attention from the reflex. ... Motor output is a fascinating ...
Abstract. In order to investigate whether the mandibular stretch (jaw-jerk) reflex is modulated in a task-dependent manner, jaw-jerk reflexes were elicited in eight subjects …
To discover the source of the inhibition, we have examined the effects of teeth clenching on the stretch reflex in the deltoid muscle. The stretch reflex of deltoid muscles was inhibited during clenching, contrary to what was expected from the Jendrassik maneuver. Taken together, our results suggest that the teeth clenching …
Bruxism, the involuntary clenching and grinding of teeth, often paves the way for frustrating tension headaches. Understanding this connection is crucial for those seeking relief. This article explores how bruxism leads to headaches, the benefits of Botox injections, and the steps involved in the treatment process.
The present study demonstrated that teeth clenching could facilitate H reflex regardless of the degree of muscle fatigue. Previous article in issue; Next article in issue; Keywords. H reflex. Clenching. Soleus. ... Habituation and conditioning of the human long latency stretch reflex. Exp Brain Res, 63 (1986), pp. 197-204. View in Scopus Google ...
Although the effects of pulling clenched hands and teeth clenching on both stretch and H-reflex have been examined in separate studies (Boroojerdi et al., 2000;Gregory et al., 2001; Mitsuyama et ...
The patellar reflex is a type of stretch reflex that involves tapping the patellar tendon to elicit a contraction of the quadriceps muscle and extension of the knee. This reflex helps to maintain ...
Although "teeth clenching" induces pressor response, the reflex tracts of the response are unknown. In this study, dantrolene administration inhibited teeth clenching generated by electrical stimulation of the masseter muscles and completely abolished the pressor response. In addition, trigeminal ganglion block or …
Testing the muscle stretch reflex provides the clinician with a direct way of assessing the peripheral nervous system and an indirect way of examining the central nervous system to determine if an upper or lower motor neurone lesion is present. ... clenching the teeth; pushing the knees together ... to assist the clinical reasoning process, the ...
8. Presence of a bolus of food in the mouth at first initiates reflex inhibition of the muscles of mastication, which allows the lower jaw to drop. The drop in turn initiates a stretch reflex of the jaw muscles that leads to rebound contraction. CHEWING REFLEX This automatically raises the jaw to cause closure of the teeth, but it also compress the …
The impact of teeth clenching on brainstem excitability was assessed using the R1 component of the blink reflex (Sanes and Ison, 1980, Jancke et al., 1994). This early component is conducted through an oligosynaptic pontine reflex arc and appears unilaterally in the orbicularis oculi muscle on the stimulated side (Kimura, 1974, Kimura, …

1) Distension/stretch of rectal walls due to movement of feces into rectum stimulate stretch receptors. Receptors transmit signals along afferent fibers to spinal cord neurons. 2) Spiral reflex is initiated in which parasympathetic motor (efferent) fibers stimulate contraction of rectal walls and relaxation of internal anal sphincter.
Objective This systematic review aimed to investigate the evidence of the interaction between teeth clenching and stimulation on the muscles of the lower and upper limbs. Methods PubMed, Cochrane library and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences) databases were used for study selection. Search was …
The excitatory monosyntic stretch reflex and the autogenic inhibitory reflex induced by Golgi tendon organ activation were both evoked in the masseter muscle bilaterally by tapping the chin with a ...

This article briefly reviews the operation of the stretch reflex in the human masticatory system. ... Fig. 4 shows that clenching prevented the movement of the mandible relative to the maxilla, and that no reflex response in masseter occurred. That is, the reflex response elicited in the jaw-closing muscles following heel-landing was not the ...
Although the effects of pulling clenched hands and teeth clenching on both stretch and H-reflex have been examined in separate studies (Boroojerdi et al., 2000, Gregory et al., 2001, Mitsuyama et al., 2017, Sato et al., 2014, Sugawara and Kasai, 2002, Hagbarth et al., 1975, Tuncer et al., 2007), to our knowledge, no study compared the …

Your question of reflex enhancement used the specific example of clenching your teeth. I looked and looked through both my texts and some medical texts for some reason why clenching your teeth might enhance the reflex at your kneecap, but I couldn't find any good evidence for how this could occur. ... The patellar reflex is a stretch reflex. It ...
