Abstract
Mean F wave size has been used in the present investigation to monitor motoneuron excitability in patients undergoing a dentatotomy for the relief of spasticity. Mean response size was reduced by electrical stimulation in the dentate nucleus and following the production of lesions in this nucleus. Both ipsilateral and contralateral effects have been demonstrated.Keywords
