Lundborg sensoriclonic response (LSR) is a phenomenon that occurs when mechanoreceptors in muscles, tendons and skin are irritated. The name of this reaction is associated with the name of its discoverer - Swedish neurologist Bjorn Lundborg.
LSR is based on a reflex mechanism that allows the body to quickly respond to changes in body position in space. When sensory stimulation occurs, a reaction occurs consisting of contraction of the muscles that control body position. This results in a short, quick movement aimed at correcting the imbalance.
LSR manifests itself as a rapid response to excess force applied to the muscles. This helps maintain balance and avoid falling during unexpected movements or changes in body position. In addition, LSR may reduce the risk of injuries associated with overuse of muscles and tendons.
LSR is widely used in medicine for diagnosing diseases and disorders of the motor system, such as myopathies, neuropathies, ataxias and others. Studies have shown that changes in LSR may be associated with pathological processes in the nervous system and muscle tissue.
Thus, the Lundborg sensoroclonic response is an important mechanism that helps the body quickly respond to changes in the environment and maintain balance. This phenomenon is widely used in medicine for the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases associated with impaired motor function.
