Very low amplitude muscle activity increases probability of motor evoked potentials in healthy individuals and in ALS

2025-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> In many clinical and research settings, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) intensities are standardised based on resting motor threshold (RMT). It is well-established that contraction of the target muscle increases motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude and correspondingly decreases RMT. As such, when estimating RMT it is crucial to ensure the target muscle is relaxed. Typically trials...
