Clinical applications of motor evoked potentials

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1998
Magnetic stimulation of brain and spinal roots provides a non-invasive evaluation of nervous propagation as well as of motor cortex excitability in healthy subjects and in patients affected by neurological diseases (i.e. multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's disease, myelopathies etc.).

Intraoperative Motor Evoked Potentials

American Journal of Electroneurodiagnostic Technology, 2001
ABSTRACT.Motor impairment is among the most feared and devastating outcomes following major surgery. Traditionally, the “wake-up test” has been used for intraoperative evaluation of motor function, but is associated with a number of limitations such as its general crudeness, common anesthetic risks such as extubation and recall, inadequacy as a ...

[Motor evoked potentials].

Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 1993
Due to the motor evoked potentials recorded in limb muscles after transcranial and spinal magnetic stimulation, conduction in the central motor pathways can now be evaluated safely and painlessly in man. The central motor conduction time obtained includes the time required for transmission, along the fast pyramidal fibres, from the cortex to the spinal

Motor Evoked Potentials

2020
This chapter discusses motor evoked potentials (MEPs) recorded by transcranial electrical stimulation (TCES) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TCMS). It describes anatomy of the central motor pathways and physiology of the D and I waves. Intraoperative monitoring of MEPs using TCES is now widely used for spinal cord and posterior fossa surgeries ...

Evoked potentials from the motor tracts in humans

Neurosurgery, 1983
Spinal cord monitoring during operation is of increasing importance in the prevention of injury. However, there is no direct monitor of the motor tracts available. We have reported a system using direct stimulation of the area overlying the motor tract between the intermediolateral sulcus and the dentate ligament in cats.

Motor Evoked Potentials in CNS Trauma

Central Nervous System Trauma, 1986
The evolving techniques of motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring are reviewed here with reference to their application in clinical and experimental CNS trauma, and with particular relevance to spinal cord injury. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the motor cortex for analysis of descending pathways has been developed over the past 6 years in a

Motor Evoked Potentials

2009
MEP recordings are a safe and effective means of assessing conduction along the central and peripheral motor pathways in a variety of clinical settings. MEP is proven to be effective in monitoring central motor pathways that are at risk during surgical procedures and is finding usefulness in the diagnosis and prognosis of several central nervous system

Anaesthesia and the motor evoked potential

1994
Sensory evoked potentials are widely used to monitor the integrity of the spinal cord during scoliosis surgery. Routine monitoring of the somatosensory evoked potential as recorded from the epidural space is relatively insensitive to routinely used anaesthetic agents.
