Physiological effects of cathodal electrode configuration for transspinal stimulation in humans

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Transspinal stimulation with a rectangular cathode electrode (P-KLAB) requires less current to produce transspinal evoked potentials and maximizes spinal inhibition. We recommend P-KLAB for neurophysiological studies or when used as a neuromodulation method to enhance motor output and normalize muscle tone in neurological disorders.
