4:40104. Experimental Distraction Spinal Cord Injury and Recovery of Motor Function

Multi-limb acquisition of motor evoked potentials and its application in spinal cord injury

“…While there have been many studies which use either MEPs (Cao et al, 2005;García-Alías et al, 2006;Beaumont et al, 2009) or SSEPs (Nagai et al, 2006;Onifer et al, 2007a;Nakashima et al, 2008;Saadoun et al, 2008;Agrawal et al, 2009b) to characterize SCI, fewer studies use both methods and record MEPs and SSEPs from the same rat before and after SCI. Concurrent measurement of SSEPs and MEPs is possible using the set-up described in this paper.…”
