Abstract

The mechanism of interactions between receptor activation in the musculoskeletal system and stimulation of the spinal cord in the regulation of locomotor behavior was studied in healthy subjects. Afferent stimulation was tested for effect on the patterns of stepping movements induced by percutaneous stimulation of the spinal cord. A combination of percutaneous spinal cord stimulation and vibratory stimulation was shown to increase the amplitude of leg movements. It was demonstrated that vibratory stimulation of limb muscles at a frequency of less than 30 Hz can be used to control involuntary movements elicited by noninvasive stimulation of the spinal cord.
