## Abstract We recently reported that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied over forearm flexor muscles, a paradigm producing in physiological conditions transient changes in corticomotoneuronal excitability of forearm muscles, may improve motor symptoms in writer's cramp (WC).
The authors studied the recruitment of motor units of EDB muscle by long lasting threshold intensity stimulation at 1 c/sec of external popliteal nerve at the ankle in healthy subjects and in myasthenic patients. In the healthy volunteers, at steady intensity of threshold stimuli, maximum number of
