Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) has been shown to modulate spinal excitability even though the underlying neural mechanisms are not known. To increase the knowledge about the plasticity of spinal cord circuitry by tsDCS, we will investigate the effects of stimulating an important neural circuit responsible for regulating the presynaptic inhibition (PSI) of soleus …
Human subjects during upright stance show random postural oscillations which are controlled by central nervous system. The sensory feedback is based on information from the visual, vestibular, proprioceptive and cutaneous systems. A deficit in any of these sensory systems causes a loss in the performance of the postural control system, leading to increased amplitude of the postural oscill…
The spasticity is an important treatable component post-stroke hemiplegic patients, because of that there is this clinical interest in properly assess this commitment. There are several methods to measure the weakness of the hemiplegic patient and its spasticity. There is among them a Modified Ashworth scale (MAS), used to measure the degree of muscle spasticity and the Modified Barthel I…
