Application of the Triple Stimulation Technique to Patients With CNS Disorders Including Stroke

Evoked motor potentials obtained by magnetic transcranial stimulation are usually used, in standard practice, to evaluate the corticospinal tract. This procedure combines two techniques: the magnetic stimulation and the electroneuromyography. It is based on the double collision principle between the descending central stimulation (magnetic) and the ascending peripheric stimulation, hereby suppressing the issue of desynchronisation of evoked motor potentials. The Triple stimulation technique allows a better quantification of the proportion of motor units activated by the transcranial stimulation.
