[Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation. Treatment option for spasticity?].

Background: In an open study the effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS) on the spastic talipes equinus of various origins, degree and duration was evaluated in 53 children and adolescents.

Study Design And Methods: Clinical and electrophysiological investigations were designed to measure the RMPS effect on the spasticity and the functional capabilities of the spastic talipes equines. Moreover, the duration of the effect of one RPMS session should be established.
