Post-tetanic transcranial motor evoked potentials augments the amplitude of compound muscle action potentials recorded from innervated and non-innervated muscles

Transcranial electrical stimulation used to produce motor evoked potentials (TES-MEP) and subsequent compound muscle action potential (CMAP) recording is widely used to monitor motor function during surgery when there is risk of damaging the spinal cord. Nonetheless, some muscles do not produce CMAP amplitudes sufficient for intraoperative monitoring.
