Why the study?
What is the effect of conditioning stimuli on the F-response in normal subjects?
What is the effect of conditioning stimuli on the F-response in normal subjects?
The F-response recovery curve following conditioning stimuli is similar to the H-reflex, with sex-based differences.
Sex differences may require adjusted F-response norms in testing; leaves open validation in clinical populations.
The effect of conditioning stimuli on the F-response was investigated in normal subjects using stimulus pairs with interstimulus intervals of 1 to 400 ms. The "recovery curve" for the F-response was found to be similar to that for the H-reflex but differences were found between male and female subjects. The significance of these findings is discussed.
