Clinical Physiological Investigations to Evaluate the Effects of Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (RPMS) – Experimental Set-Ups

RPMS is an innovative approach for the treatment of central paresis, e.g., after a stroke, by inducing muscle contractions. For nerve fiber depolarization, a high time and spatially varying magnetic field impulse is applied. This impulse is repeated with a frequency of 20Hz. To evaluate the different effects of RPMS, 5000 stimuli with a break of 2 seconds after every 30 impulses are applied. The concept is based on the activation of a reorganization process in the CNS due to the induced proprioceptive inflow to the CNS. The presented poster shows an overview of the technical approaches and experimental set-ups i…
