  • Title: Effects of coil characteristics for femoral nerve magnetic stimulation.
    Author: Tomazin K, Verges S, Decorte N, Oulerich A, Millet GY.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2010 Mar; 41(3):406-9. PubMed ID: 20119978.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of two coils used for femoral nerve magnetic stimulation and to compare them with electrical stimulation in inducing maximal response of the quadriceps. The mechanical and electromyographic (EMG) responses were dependent on the coil used. The 45-mm double coil showed greater efficiency to elicit a maximal quadriceps response, which was similar to electrical stimulation.
