Abstract
No inhibitory influence of length on the increased stretch reflex was found in the internal gastrocnemius muscle of 19 cerebral palsied children. A facilitory influence of length was found in at least five patients in which quantitative data were obtained. These results were compared with previous data on a facilitory influence in the hamstrings and inhibitory influence in quadriceps muscles.
