The lumbar spine comprises the lower end of the spinal column between the last thoracic vertebra (T12) and the first sacral vertebra (S1). The spinal cord in this region has protection from five durable and mobile vertebrae (L1-L5) that allow for the dispersion of axial forces. The spinal cord runs through the center of the vertebral column and…[Read more]

However, a posteriori analyses based on patterns of pain-induced MEPs modulation revealed that participants in which nociceptive stimulation resulted in an increase in corticospinal excitability were more affected by the predictability of pain (i.e. increasing corticospinal excitability even more when pain occurrence was predictable), regardless…[Read more]

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) assess the functioning of the hair cells in the cochlea by measuring sounds produced by the movement of the basilar membrane. Practice varies considerably across the country. This review has been carried out to identify which tests are clinically and cost effective for assessing the hearing system in patients with…[Read more]
