Modifications of the involuntary postcontraction in diseased people.
The involuntary postcontraction (IPC) was studied on people affected by 12 different diseases or by noxious influences, and compared with that in healthy persons. General and disease-specific modifications are described and discussed. The suggestion is made that IPC could be used as a fast and easy test of the general state of health of the organism.
