| Abstract | Recurrent inhibition to soleus motoneurones, brought about by a conditioning H-reflex discharge, was estimated in human subjects by a subsequent test H reflex. Changes in recurrent inhibition during voluntary ankle dorsiflexion were evaluated by comparing the amplitude of the test H reflex to a reference H reflex: both reflexes were subjected to the same type of influences which modified soleus monosynaptic reflex excitability during pretibial flexor contraction, but only the test H reflex was subject to the recurrent inhibition evoked by the conditioning H-reflex discharge. During tonic or phasic ramp contractions of the pretibial flexors the inhibition of the test H reflex, as compared to rest, was more marked than that of the reference H reflex. Evidence is presented that this may indicate a facilitation of soleus-coupled Renshaw cells. Since this facilitation of soleus-coupled Renshaw cells was also observed before ramp contraction, it is, at least in part, supraspinal in origin. Within the range of forces studied (8-45% of maximum force) there was no evidence that the facilitation of soleus-coupled Renshaw cells increased along with increased force of the pretibial flexor voluntary contraction. During voluntary phasic ankle dorsiflexion, facilitation of soleus-coupled Renshaw cells was maximum at the moment when soleus motoneurones were most facilitated by the stretch-induced soleus I a discharge. There was no evidence for changes in Renshaw cell excitability during ballistic contractions. It is suggested that this facilitation of soleus-coupled Renshaw cells may be one of the mechanisms preventing the occurrence of a soleus stretch reflex during a voluntary ankle dorsiflexion. Such a mechanism could become important if reciprocal inhibition, via I a inhibitory interneurones, were not strong enough, e.g. because of a weak gamma-drive to the contracting muscles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
