Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Reaction time evaluation during non-invasive spinal cord stimulation and leg movementsExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
This arm will receive the loud auditory stimuli to evaluate the excitability of the reticulospinal tract first then the arm will receive the transcranial magnetic stimulation to excite the corticospinal tract second
Group II: Evaluation of motor evoked potentials during non-invasive spinal cord stimulation and leg movementsExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
This arm will receive the transcranial magnetic stimulation to evaluate the excitability of the corticospinal tract first then the arm will receive the loud auditory stimuli to evaluate the excitability of the reticulospinal track second.
