title: [The assessment of amplitude and occurrence of F waves in hemiparetic patients].
abstract: An analysis of occurrence of F response in a group of 40 patients with vascular unilateral hemiplegia was conducted. In trains of 100 supramaximal stimuli, the frequency and amplitude of the F wave was estimated bilaterally in the median and peroneal nerves. Differences in the appearance of those responses in groups with different muscular tone, were shown. Small changes were also observed contralaterally to the hemiparetic side. In 2 cases instead of F wave H reflex was recorded from the abductor pollicic brevis muscle.
