The Hoffmann Reflex

2026-04-27

Abstract excerpt

The human spinal cord is increasingly recognized as an active and adaptable compo-nent of sensorimotor function, contributing to motor control, pain modulation, and recovery after neurological injury. Within this framework, the Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) has evolved from a classical electrophysiological phenomenon into a useful probe of spinal circuit function. Rather than reflecting motoneuron excitability alone,...
