This heightened sensitivity would correspond with a shorter latency and higher-amplitude reflex response, potentially enhancing joint stability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Objective: To compare spinal stretch reflex latency and amplitude across groups that differed in musculotendinous stiffness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Design: Static group comparisons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Setting: Research laboratory.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Patients or Other Participants: Forty physically active individuals (20 men, 20 women).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Intervention(s): We verified a sex difference in musculotendinous stiffness and compared spinal stretch reflex latency and amplitude in high-stiffness (men) and low-stiffness (women) groups. We also evaluated relationships between musculotendinous stiffness and spinal stretch reflex latency and amplitude, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Main Outcome Measure(s): Triceps surae musculotendinous stiffness and soleus spinal stretch reflex latency and amplitude were assessed at 30% of a maximal voluntary isometric plantar-flexion contraction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: The high-stiffness group demonstrated significantly greater stiffness (137.41 \u00b1 26.99 N\/cm) than the low-stiffness group did (91.06 \u00b1 20.10 N\/cm). However, reflex latency (high stiffness = 50.11 \u00b1 2.07 milliseconds, low stiffness = 48.26 \u00b1 2.40 milliseconds) and amplitude (high stiffness = 0.28% \u00b1 0.12% maximum motor response, low stiffness = 0.31% \u00b1 0.16% maximum motor response) did not differ significantly across stiffness groups. Neither reflex latency (r = .053, P = .746) nor amplitude (r = .073, P = .653) was related significantly to musculotendinous stiffness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: A moderate level of pretension (eg, 30%) likely eliminates series elastic slack; thus, a greater change in force per unit-of-length change (ie, heightened stiffness) would have minimal effects on coupling of the muscle spindle and the stretch stimulus and, therefore, on spinal stretch reflex sensitivity. It appears unlikely that differences in musculotendinous stiffness influenced spinal stretch reflex sensitivity when initiated from a moderate level of pretension. Consequently, differences in musculotendinous stiffness did not appear to influence dynamic joint stability with respect to reflexive neuromuscular control.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-43.1.29","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,30]],"date-time":"2009-12-30T10:37:55Z","timestamp":1262169475000},"page":"29-36","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Muscle Stiffness and Spinal Stretch Reflex Sensitivity in the Triceps Surae"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"J.
