Differentiation between the contributions of shortening reaction and stretch-induced inhibition to rigidity in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinsonian rigidity is characterized by an increased resistance of a joint to externally imposed motion that remains uniform with changing joint angle. Two candidate mechanisms are proposed for the uniformity of rigidity, involving neural-mediated excitation of shortening muscles, i.e., shortening...
