Since 1973, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been reported to modulate abnormal motor functions such as spasticity, weakness, ataxia, athetosis, neurogenic bladder, dysarthria, dystonia and torticollis. As reported in 39 papers, improved neurological functions did occur in 45 to 64% of 1,008 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury (SCI), cerebral palsy and other dystonic and ...
