Effect of noninvasive transspinal direct current electrical stimulation of cervical enlargement on the excitability of different hand muscles
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate how noninvasive transspinal electrical stimulation affects the excitability of various hand muscles.
Noninvasive electrical stimulation was applied to the cervical enlargement region.
Different hand muscles were assessed for excitability changes.
Electrodes' placement was carefully determined for optimal effects.
Stimulation produced unique effects on muscle excitability.
Specific hand muscles showed selective responses to the stimulation protocol.
Abstract
Thus, we observe a unique and selective effect of stimulation on the spinal cord. Perhaps understanding the placement of electrodes and stimulation protocols may lead to improved effects.
