[The technical method for noninvasive magnetic stimulation of nerve center and its clinical application].
The increasing use of non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique for nerve center function examination and functional neuromuscular rehabilitation is a new cynosure in biomedical engineering and neuro-electrophysiologic researches. This paper analyzes theoretically the magnetic stimulation of first demonstration extending the technique model to human body, and the magnetic principle of physics. The characteristics of magnetic stimulation can be highlighted by comparing it to conventional electrical stimulation. Also presented are the peripheral multichannel magnetic stimulation to mimic electrical stimulation and the clinical functions toward neuromuscular rehabilitation.
