Effect of An-pressing manipulation on post-stroke muscle spasticity in rats and its mechanism study
ConclusionBased on the theory of ‘anti-stretch reflex’ of tendon organs, the use of An-pressing manipulation to induce the ‘anti-stretch reflex’ by stimulating the tendon organs can improve the muscle spasticity of rats, which is better than An-pressing the muscle belly. Increased levels of Gly and GABA in rat plasma and L1-L3 segments of spinal cord may be one mechanism of An-pressing manipulation to improve muscle spasticity by stimulating tendon organs.
