The degree of alteration of the myotatic loop was evaluated in 6 patients with polyradiculoneuropathy by studying deep reflexes and vibratory motor responses. The results showed that the reflex motor responses induced by vibration reappeared 2 to 4 weeks before the deep reflexes. Vibrations, therefore, could be a useful tool for the clinical follow-up of polyradiculoneuropathy.
