Suggests task-specific presynaptic inhibition during preparation; leaves open translation to clinical motor disorders.
The study suggests that smaller reflex amplitudes in the involved leg during the inter-stimulus interval reflect presynaptic inhibition of Ia afferents to motoneurons involved in the response.
Brunia et al. (1982) studied this question.
