Effect of the protocol on spinal and muscle excitability
In our work, we observed changes of spinal excitability along the three testing times, a protocol lasting about 90 min. Remarkably, those changes were very small in size and not associated to any intervention because they were present in the Control groups.First, the latencies of all recorded neurophysiological signals showed small but significant increments. A decrease in muscle temperature, which is reported to increase H and M waves latencies and amplitudes in young healthy subjects (Dewhurst et al., Other works have also reported and effect of the NT techniques on the latencies of H‐reflex. Regrettably, the lack of a proper control group and the fact that in some of them a consistent location of the stimulation electrode cannot be guaranteed, hinders any comparison (Adel,
