Zusammenfassung

Introduction: We previously showed that voluntary isometric contraction of sufficient duration before application of a Theta-Burst-Stimulation protocol known to induce enhancement of cortical excitability reversed the direction of induced plasticity (Gentner et al 2008). Here we examined the influence of isometric muscle contraction before and during paired associative stimulation (PAS), another plasticity-inducing TMS protocol. Methods: 12 healthy subjects (6 women, aged 18 – 25 years, mean 22 ± 2 years, all right-handed) were investigated with PAS (repetitive combination of electric stimulation of the right me…
