  • Title: [Reflex studies of the patellar tendon reflex in patients with varus gonarthrosis].
    Author: Nebelung W, Neumann HW.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1993; 131(5):410-2. PubMed ID: 8256487.
    Abstract:
    We discuss the role of the neuromuscular system following biomechanical circumstances for the development of osteoarthritis of the knee joint. We examined in 58 patients suffering from osteoarthritis with varus deformity and 22 healthy people the latency and velocity of the patellar tendon reflex. We found with increasing age and by osteoarthritis of the knees shorter reflex latencies, that we see as disintegration of motor system.
