Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of two coils used for femoral nerve magnetic stimulation and to compare them with electrical stimulation in inducing maximal response of the quadriceps. The mechanical and electromyographic (EMG) responses were dependent on the coil used. The 45โmm double coil showed greater efficiency to elicit a maximal quadriceps response, which was similar to electrical stimulation. Muscle Nerve, 2010

Magnetic nerve stimulation (MNS) using a novel figure-8 magnetic coil was compared with conventional electric nerve stimulation (ENS) in normal subjects and in patients with disorders of the peripheral nervous system. In contrast to previously tested coils, the virtual cathode of the novel coil was
## Abstract We investigated the efficacy of different frequencies and intensities of magnetic stimulation for activating the quadriceps muscles; a painless method for stimulating the quadriceps would be useful in the rehabilitation of patients who have difficulty in voluntarily activating their mus
