Effect of paired-pulse stimulus parameters on the two phases of short interval intracortical inhibition in the quadriceps muscle group.

CONCLUSIONS: The amount of inhibition was dependent on the stimulation parameters used during testing. A CSI of 70% AMT, ISI of 1.0 ms, and TSI of ≥110% AMT appear to be optimal for measuring SICI in the quadriceps muscle; however, other parameters can be used if careful consideration is given to the described interaction between the parameters.
