Triceps surae cutaneous reflexes to non-noxious stimuli (1 × and 1.5 × radiating threshold [RT] in people with and without chronic incomplete SCI. Each panel shows the amplitudes of the medium latency reflex (MLR, group mean ± SD) to stimulation of the superficial peroneal nerve (SPn), sural nerve (SRn), and distal tibial nerve (DTn) at 1 × and 1.5 × RT. a and d: Amplitudes of soleus MLRs. b and e: Amplitudes of MG MLRs. c and f: Amplitudes of LG MLRs. The reflex amplitudes are expressed in %maximum M-wave (Mmax). Mean values for individuals with SCI are shown in filled bars and mean values for individuals without injuries are shown in open bars. Asterisks indicate significant differences between 1 × and 1.5 × RT (p < 0.05). Each x symbol represents an individual’s value. The number of participants in a given dataset is indicated beneath the panels c and f.
