    Annotation Diseases of joints are often associated with the alterations in the function of the associated muscles. The pathophysiolgical mechanisms underlying these changes in the muscle functions are poorly understood, however. Here, we explored the alterations in the neuromotor status of the hip quadriceps muscles in the coxartrosis and gonartrosis patients using electrostimulation myography. We found elevated motor response and H - reflex thresholds and a decrease of their amplitudes in the coxartrosis and gonartrosis patients compared to the healthy subjects. While the alterations in the motor responses may result from the reduced blood supply of the joint and the femoral nerve, changes in H-reflex indicate an involvement of the nociceptive signals from the joint in the central mechanisms of the movement control. We suggest that reduced reflex excitability of the spinal cord motor neurons controlling the quadriceps muscle in the coxartrosis and gonartrosis patients involves the afferents fr
