Supramaximal responses can be elicited in hand muscles by magnetic stimulation of the cervical motor roots

Background: The amplitude of compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) evoked in response to magnetic cervical motor root stimulation (MRS) has rarely been used as a diagnostic parameter because of the difficulty in obtaining supramaximal CMAPs. Objective: To clarify whether supramaximal CMAPs could...
