Abstrakt: CONTENTS IntroductionPostureDistribution of postures of flexion and extension with and without spasticity in relation to levels of lesions, time and injury, and completeness and incompleteness of injuryStretch Reflexes: Spasticty, Myotatic, Pluck, and Deep ReflexesSpasticity: frequency; relation to level of injury; distribution in various muscle groups; relation to completeness of injuryMyotatic reflexes and spasticityPluck reflex: frequency; distribution; correlation with certain deep reflexes and clonusSpasticity as resultant of a number of different stretch, nociceptive, and body reflexesConventional ReflexesIn anatomically complete lesions; deep reflexes and levels of lesions; plantar reflexesExteroceptive and Other ReflexesVarious patterns of ipsilateral and contralateral responses; frequency of contralateral reflexes; efficacy of stimuli; responsiveness of reflexogenous zones; successive reflexes; appearance of complicated movements supplanting simple flexion and extension; assessment of total activity of distal segment; relation to level of lesion and its severityA newly described crossed gluteal reflex
