Stretch Reflex Modulation

Stretch Reflex Modulation is a neurophysiological mechanism within the framework of reflex control that selectively alters the gain of the stretch reflex response through central nervous system interventions, distinguishing it from passive or fixed reflex pathways by its dynamic, context-dependent regulation of muscle stiffness and proprioceptive feedback integration.
