Magnetic Stimulation of the Motor Cortex and Motor Root in Cervical Spondylosis
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Motor evoked potentials by transcranial magnetic stimulation of motor cortex and spinal regions were recorded from biceps brachii, abductor digiti quinti and tibialis anterior muscles of central motor conduction time for at least one muscle were
observed in all patients with myelopathy and these were closely correlated with clinical signs of upper motor neuron dysfunction. The amplitude of motor evoked potentials were inversly correlated with central motor coduction time. Somatosensory
evoked
potentials were less frequently altered than motor evoked potentials. The magnetic brain stimulation is easy to perform, painless, safe and valuable test in evaluating of central motor pathway lesion in cervical spondylosis.
