Studies of the monosynaptic reflex in 70 parkinson-ian patients and 12 normal individuals were carried out.

Using Magladery's method recovery curves were-plotted utilizing the relationship of the H wave obtained after each of two successive stimuli (H2/H1). In addi-tion, a personal modification consisting of recording the facilitatory conditions of the lower motor neuron, using again two successive stimuli in the 1~10 msec range was determined at the same time. The results for the 12 normal subjects are summerized in fig. 2. In the facilitation curve the H2/H1 ratio fell between 50~80% and in the recovery curve the shortest interval between the 1st and 2nd stimulation which gave a H2/H1 ratio greater than 10%, was of 80 msec.

Facilitation and recovery curves of parkinsonian patients differed from those of normal subjects (fig. 2~6). Within the parkinsonian group four different types of facilitation and recovery curves were seen. These corresponded to certain clinical variations in each of these groups.

In group 1, characterized by high facilitation curve and a rapid recovery curve the patients demonstrated principally tremor and/or rigidity but were functional and did not demonstrate muscle atrophy.

Patients in group 2 had a low facilitation curve and rapid recovery curve. This group, in addition tremor and rigidity demonstrated objective muscular atrophy in the extremities.

Patients in group 3 had high facilitation but slow recovery curves. The objective neurologic signs were principally tremor with little or no rigidity. In this group balance during ambulation was impaired, out of proportion to the observable rigidity.

In group 4 the facilitation curve was low and the recovery curve was slow. In this group tremor and rigidity were accompanied by muscle atrophy, balance disturbances and a good deal of vegetative symptoms.
