Direct comparison of secondary muscle spindle afferent activity and motoneuron activity between the brain-dead human HT6 with a synergy of the bladder (A) and the paraplegic 9 with a dyssynergia of the bladder (B).

A. Simultaneous measurements of activities of secondary muscle spindle afferents (a), parasympathetic preganglionic motoneurons (b) and oscillatory firing (high activity mode) of a sphincter motoneuron innervating the striated anal sphincter (c). Note that with the transient activity increase of the parasympathetic fibers (b) the secondary muscle spindle afferent fiber increased strongly its activity (a) for minutes, and the oscillatory firing sphincter motoneuron discontinued its oscillation (c) to reduce strongly its activity. bladder 3x = 3 times bladder catheter pulling. T ext. anal sphincter mot. = oscillation period of the sphincter α2-motoneuron innervating the anal sphincter. For further details, see Chapter V of [1].
