The aim of our study was to investigate sacral reflex responses in patients with vertebrogenic lesions of the genital nerve. Recording of reflexes that were induced at the level of sacral segments was performed in the supine position of the patient. The study was performed on a 4-channel electromyograph M-42, which allowed recording the response with a significant latent period - up to 500 ms. To distinguish between the evoked response and dipping potentials more accurately, we applied the technique of superimposing several responses.
