Relationship between soleus H-reflex asymmetry and postural control in multiple sclerosis.

Conclusions: Multiple sclerosis participants had greater soleus Hoffmann reflex asymmetry, which appears to significantly influence forward postural control.Implications for rehabilitationSoleus Hoffmann reflex asymmetry appears to influence postural stability.The soleus Hoffmann reflex is capable of adapting to different modes of exercise; therefore, to reduce H-reflex asymmetry it is recommended to individualize physical rehabilitative programming.Assessing the soleus Hoffmann reflex in people with multiple sclerosis during health screenings could be of use to clinical and rehabilitative practitioners.
