Abstract
The Hoffmann reflex which has applications in assessment of nervous system damage in stroke, spinal injury, Parkinson´s disease and other conditions is studied both practically and theoretically. Using recorded Hoffmann reflex data a model is proposed that captures the qualitative behaviour of the phenomenon and allows investigation of how different waveform morphologies and patterns of recruitment can be related to underlying physiological variables
