Communication 1. The unconditioned proprioceptive tonic reflex first described by A. A. Ukhtomskii

Summary

Proprioceptive tonic reflex first described by A. A. Ukhtomskii was investigated with the aid of myotonography in sportsmen and untrained persons on deltoid muscle. It was established that the character value and duration of the reflex depends on the previous motor habits of man. In repetition of the reflex in chronic experiments (formation of conditioned reflexes) the value of unconditioned reflex is increased, while its duration is shortened.
