Dorsiflexion movement of the wrist by magnetic stimulation

Abstract

Magnetic pules stimulation was carried out for the peripheral nerve of the forearm of five healthy adults by using the magnetic stimulation device. Dorsiflexion movement of the wrist was measured using a digital goniometer under the following stimulus conditions. Magnetic field strength : 3 stage. Stimulation frequency 10 Hz to 50 Hz. Stimulation time : 0.5 to 2 sec. According to the stimulation conditions, wide range in bending angle of the wrist over 100 degree was observed.
