Stretch Reflex. The stretch reflex is one of the simplest reflexes which contract a muscle that is being stretched. The stretch reflex is mediated through a monosynaptic arc and it contributes to the maintenance of steady standing posture and to coordinate muscle movement.
The types of myoclonus are reviewed and it is argued that this type of myoclonus is mediated in cerebral cortex and that the negative transient represents a paroxysmal depolarization shift (PDS). The myoclonus may result from hyperactivity of a component of the long-latency stretch reflex. [PubMed-indexed for MEDLINE].
