Corticospinal excitability measurements using transcranial magnetic stimulation are valid with intramuscular electromyography.

OBJECTIVES:Muscular targets that are deep or inaccessible to surface electromyography (sEMG) require intrinsic recording using fine-wire electromyography (fEMG). It is unknown if fEMG validly record cortically evoked muscle responses compared to sEMG. The purpose of this investigation was to establi...
