Effect of Cutaneous Heat Pain on Corticospinal Excitability of the Tibialis Anterior at Rest and during Submaximal Contraction

Figure 1

Experimental protocol in pain or no pain blocks at rest or during dorsiflexion (10% of MVC). Ten stimulations were evoked by block, and the blocks were randomized. A rest period of 90 s was given between blocks. TMS was triggered 750 ms after the plateau temperature was reached.
