Volitional muscle activity paired with transcranial magnetic stimulation increases corticospinal excitability
Studies of activity-dependent stimulation in non-human primates suggest that pairing each instance of volitional muscle activity with immediate intracortical stimulation causes long-term-potentiation-like effects. This technique holds promise for clinical rehabilitation, yet few investigators have tested activity-dependent stimulation in human subjects. In addition, no one has studied activity-...
متن کاملSelective corticospinal tract involvement in late-onset Krabbe disease.
A 4-year-old girl presented with increasing falls and progressive limb stiffness noticed for 2 months. There was no history of cognitive decline, seizures, or vision impairment. Examination revealed spastic quadriparesis, with no sensory or cerebellar abnormalities. A suggestive MRI scan of the brain (figure) and reduced galactocerebrosidase activity in leukocytes confirmed the diagnosis of lat...
متن کاملA phenomenological model that predicts forces generated when electrical stimulation is superimposed on submaximal volitional contractions.
Superimposition of electrical stimulation during voluntary contractions is used to produce functional movements in individuals with central nervous system impairment, to evaluate the ability to activate a muscle, to characterize the nature of fatigue, and to improve muscle strength during postsurgical rehabilitation. Currently, the manner in which voluntary contractions and electrically elicite...
متن کاملAge-related differences in corticospinal control during functional isometric contractions in left and right hands.
The purpose of the study was to examine age-related differences in electromyographic (EMG) responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) during functional isometric contractions in left and right hands. EMG responses were recorded from the first dorsal interosseus muscle following TMS in 10 young (26.6 +/- 1.3 yr) and 10 old (67.6 +/- 2.3 yr) right-handed subjects. Muscle evoked potentia...
متن کاملCorticospinal-evoked responses in lower limb muscles during voluntary contractions at varying strengths.
This study investigated corticospinal-evoked responses in lower limb muscles during voluntary contractions at varying strengths. Similar investigations have been made on upper limb muscles, where evoked responses have been shown to increase up to approximately 50% of maximal force and then decline. We elicited motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) and cervicomedullary motor-evoked potentials (CMEPs) i...
