This study investigates the differences in neuromuscular responses to triceps tendon tapping in patients with stroke compared to nondisabled controls. Conducted with the elbow joint at 90° flexion, the results indicate distinct patterns in electromyography (EMG) responses, visualized through mean and standard deviation lines. The findings contribute to understanding hyperactive reflexes post-stroke and can inform rehabilitation strategies. The research was published in the Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development in 2011.
