Effect of multisegmental electrical stimulation in combination with proprioceptive stimulation of the spinal cord on changes in reflex excitability of motor neurons

The study involved 15 men with movement disorders of central origin. We used percutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with the application of electrodes in the projection of the lumbar thickening, proprioceptive stimulation, and their combination. The data obtained showed the effectiveness of the combined course of percutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord and proprioceptive stimulation on changes in the excitability of spinal locomotor neural networks. Key words: electrical stimulation, spinal cord, proprioceptive stimulation, rehabilitation, motor neuron.
