“…Initially, this was demon strated in multiple sclerosis [2], other degenerative diseases [1,3] and spasmodic torticollis [4], This therapeutic application of spinal cord stimulation has been more recently extended by us to include other dis orders of the motor system, including cerebral palsy, dystonia, torticol lis, post-traumatic and post-stroke spasticity [5,6,9]. The effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation has been shown to be increased by the use of variable spinal cord stimulation, which allows multiple anatomical and physiologic levels of stimulation to be carried out [9], In 1975, we began investigating spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of motor disorders, including cerebral palsy, dystonia, tor ticollis, post-stroke and post-traumatic spasticity.…”
