Zusammenfassung

Inflammatory lesions and axonal degeneration of central motor conduction pathways result in gait disturbance and contributes particularly to increasing disability in patients with multiple sclerosis. With conventional transcranial magnetic stimulation central conduction times can be estimated but axonal damage or conduction block of motor pathways is less sensitively detected to correlate well with disability. The triple stimulation technique (TST) examines the corticospinal tract by magnetic stimulation of cortical motor areas followed by sequenced distal and proximal peripheral nerve electric stimulation. The…
