Abstract
A method was tested to extract reliable estimates o f stretch reflex gain during a simple upper limb task involving dynamic muscle contractions. The gain estimates obtained from a 10hz sinusoidal stretch perturbation were comparable in dynamic tasks and constant contractions of similar average magnitude. It was concluded that the method may permit studies of functionally related changes in reflex gain during upper limb tasks.
