Establishment of a transcutaneous electrical stimulation method for improving reciprocal inhibition mechanism

对于脑卒中患者痉挛的治疗，经皮电刺激腓总神经。然而，刺激点的识别需要相当多的时间，因为它只依赖于自己的经验。通过本研究，明确了具体的刺激点。然后，治疗的准备时间将有望减少。此外，迄今为止，有效的刺激条件仍不明朗。我们的结果揭示了经皮电刺激的最佳频率。

For treatment of spasticity of stroke patients, transcutaneous electrical stimulation is applied to common peroneal nerve. However, identification of stimulus point requires a fair amount of time because it depends on own experience alone. As a result of present study, specific stimulus point became clear. Then, the preparation time of treatment will be expected to reduce. Additionally, to date, an effective stimulus condition is still unclear. Our results revealed the optimal frequency of transcutaneous electrical stimulation.
