Somatosensory evoked potential findings in ankylosing spondylitis.

OBJECTIVE Somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) abnormalities were reported in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study aimed to investigate SSEP abnormalities and its relation with clinical findings in AS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 26 patients with AS and 17 age-matched health volunteers (Control for SSEP). Median nerve SSEP findings were normal in all AS...

Intra-operative somatosensory-evoked potential monitoring.

PURPOSE To evaluate the usefulness of intra-operative somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) in monitoring spinal cord status via the posterior tibial nerve. METHODS 84 men and 28 women aged 16 to 66 years (72% were aged 20 to 40 years) with spinal trauma (63 in the lumbar and 49 in the thoracic spine) underwent posterior instrumentation and fusion using bone grafts. All 63 patients with lum...

Steady-State Somatosensory Evoked Potential for Brain-Computer Interface—Present and Future

Brain-computer interface (BCI) performance has achieved continued improvement over recent decades, and sensorimotor rhythm-based BCIs that use motor function have been popular subjects of investigation. However, it remains problematic to introduce them to the public market because of their low reliability. As an alternative resolution to this issue, visual-based BCIs that use P300 or steady-sta...

Median Nerve Somatosensory Evoked Potential in HTLV-I Associated Myelopathy

INTRODUCTION HTLV-I Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a progressive Myelopathy that mainly involves the corticospinal tract. Despite pronounced involvement of the lower limbs, patients also have abnormalities in their upper limbs. So, we studied somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) of the median nerve in HAM/TSP patients to determine the extent of the involvemen...
