Galvanic vestibular stimulation reveals disruption of ipsilesional brainstem pathways in hemiparetic stroke survivors

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 7, Page 3381-3397, 1 July 2026.
Abstract The spatiotemporal structure of muscle coordination emerges from the collaboration and competition among cortical, brainstem and spinal pathways onto motor neuron pools, each continuously shaped by task demands, limb position and descending tract integrity.

Effectiveness of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation for lower limb rehabilitation in spinal cord injury: a systematic review

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in devastating motor and sensory deficits below the level of injury. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation technique for improving motor function in individuals with SCI.

Repeated transspinal stimulation decreases soleus H-reflex excitability and restores spinal inhibition in human spinal cord injury.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Transcutaneous spinal cord or transspinal stimulation over the thoracolumbar enlargement, the spinal location of motoneurons innervating leg muscles, modulates neural circuits engaged in the control of movement.

EFFICACY OF DIFFERENT TREATMENT MODALITIES ON SPASTICITY MANAGEMENT OF SPINAL CORD INJURY USING H-REFLEX STUDY

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Spasticity is one of the most frequently observed phenomena after a lesion of the upper motor neuron system. Treatment of spasticity should not be aimed at its complete removal but rather at improving function, easing care or alleviating pain.

Effect of cerebrospinal dual-site magnetic stimulation on freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease

npj Parkinson's Disease
Addressing levodopa-unresponsive freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) presents a significant challenge. A randomized double-blinded trial evaluated the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in conjunction with ...
