Key result
Maximum H-reflex amplitude was significantly smaller in the medial and lateral gastrocnemii (1.1 mV) than in the soleus (3.3 mV), though all three were similarly modulated during walking.
Why the study?
How are the medial and lateral gastrocnemii H-reflexes modulated during standing and walking compared to the soleus H-reflex in humans?

May inform neuromuscular gait studies; leaves open whether gastrocnemii H-reflex modulation differs clinically from soleus.
Observational
How are the medial and lateral gastrocnemii H-reflexes modulated during standing and walking compared to the soleus H-reflex in humans?
The H-reflexes of the medial and lateral gastrocnemii and soleus muscles are synergistically modulated during walking and between standing and walking to facilitate ongoing movement.
Makihara et al. (2011) reported an observational. Walking vs. Standing was evaluated on Maximum H-reflex amplitude. Maximum H-reflex amplitude was significantly smaller in the medial and lateral gastrocnemii (1.1 mV) than in the soleus (3.3 mV), though all three were similarly modulated during walking.
