Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Nine subjects (seven male, two female) underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) toward the evaluation of spinal cord injury (SCI). The evaluation of SCI with TMS tended to support clinical findings. Those subjects with clinically complete injuries demonstrated no evoked muscle response below the level of injury. Those subjects with clinically incomplete injuries showed trends toward prolonged evoked muscle latencies on the weaker side. Facilitation tended to enhance distal muscle responses. With incomplete spinal injury, the facilitation maneuver allowed the recording of weak muscle responses as well as those otherwise not present at rest. Maximum anal sphincter contraction also helped facilitate muscle responses and tended to impart less noise in the recordings. Facilitation failed, however to produce a response in those subjects with clinically complete injuries. No subject experienced adverse effects during the study. TMS promises to be an effective tool for the evaluation of SCI. |
