Immobility and F-waves: Impact on lower motor neuron excitability.

Contrary to what occurred in cervical lower motor neurons (LMN), LL LMNs did not show a reduced F-wave response to immobility, but their latency increased significantly. This could have been due to reduced Renshaw inhibition of small LMNs, thus facilitating their response to antidromic stimulation and causing delayed late responses.
