Overview

Transcranial magnetic stimulation findings show motor evoked potentials in spinal cord injury and stroke, indicating MI enhances neurorehabilitation techniques.

Key Points

  • Motor imagery significantly modulates cortical and spinal responses during stimulation.
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation elicited measurable motor evoked potentials in forearm muscles.
  • Cortical and spinal circuitry interactions highlight the potential of MI in rehabilitation strategies.
  • Enhanced stimulation techniques may offer vital advancements in therapies for SCI and stroke patients.
