title: [Non-Invasive Methods for the Control of Human Spinal Locomotory Systems].
abstract: We studied the interrelations between the activation of the receptors of musculoskeletal system and the spinal cord stimulation in the regulation of locomotor behavior in healthy subjects. We observed the effect of afferent stimulation on the patterns of stepping movements caused by percutaneous stimulation of spinal cord. It was found that the combination of percutaneous spinal cord stimulation and vibrostimulation increases the amplitude of leg movements. It was shown that the vibrostimulation of limb muscles at a frequency of less than 30 Hz may be used for comtrolling involuntary movements, caused by non-invasive stimulation of the spinal cord.
