Clinical value of the assessment of changes in MEP duration with voluntary contraction

Clinical value of the assessment of changes in MEP duration with voluntary contraction

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) gives rise to muscle responses, known as motor evoked potentials (MEP), through activation of the motor pathways. Voluntary contraction causes facilitation of MEPs, which consists of shortening MEP latency, increasing MEP amplitude and widening MEP duration. W...
