Abstract
H/M ratio is more sensitive than the Ashworth score or F-wave persistence in detecting a physiologic response to ITB bolus. H-reflex is useful for verification of ITB bolus administration, as an adjunct to clinical evaluation, particularly among patients with moderate spasticity at rest or with small changes in Ashworth score. However, potential application of the marked sensitivity of the H-reflex to other clinically challenging situations, such as early detection of possible ITB system malfunction, awaits further investigation.
