title: [Electromagnetic stimulation of the nervous system. II. Normal values in the peripheral nervous system and comparison with electrical stimulation methods].
abstract: In 15 healthy subjects we stimulated the peripheral nervous system by a brief intense magnetic field and recorded evoked muscle potentials from peripheral muscles. Latencies were compared with those obtained by conventional electrical stimulation techniques. Amplitudes of muscle responses after magnetic stimulation were often smaller than those obtained after electrical stimulation; however, latencies were comparable at all stimulation sites.
