نویسندگان
چکیده
Feasibility and efficacy of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) have been studied during the last years. A key parameter to study this technique is posterior root muscle response (PRM), which a monosynaptic reflex that evoked by single pulse tSCS. The objective work was analyse how body weight loading influences PRM threshold in subjects with injury (SCI).
