Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Nerve Stimulation (rPMS) as Adjuvant Therapy Reduces Skeletal Muscle Reflex Activity.

摘要: Background: The reduction of muscle hypertonia and spasticity, as well an increase in mobility, is essential prerequisite for the amelioration physiotherapeutical treatments. Repetitive peripheral magnetic nerve stimulation (rPMS) a putative adjuvant therapy that improves mobility patients. Methods: Thirty-eight participants underwent either rPMS treatment (N=19) with 5 Hz protocol at soleus or sham (N=19). took place over minutes. study was conducted pre-test post-test design matched groups. Results: primary outcome significant reflex activity muscle, triggered by computer-aided tendon-reflex impact. Outcome measures were taken baseline after following intervention. pre-post differences tendon response -23.7% (P < 0.001) group. No effects showed Conclusion: Low-frequency (5 rPMS) exhibits substantial amplitude. seems to be effective procedure reduce muscular stiffness, thus, makes therapeutic effect neuro-rehabilitation more effective. For this reason, might have potential used rehabilitation gait posture control patients suffering from limited due spasticity.
