Brain Mapping and Robots:
New Directions in Rehabilitation
Abstract:
TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) may be used to probe motor function non-invasively, and specifically to map muscle representations in the primary motor cortex (M1). These maps have a somatotopic organization of muscle responses by simulation location. However, it is unknown if upper extremity movements evoked by TMS are location-dependent. We sought to define the map of TMS evoked whole arm movements, and measure the effects of robotic rehabilitation on TMS measures of motor cortical efstroke.
