Abstract
These results demonstrate significantly shorter cSP in the burned arm in patients with upper limb burn sustained <2Â years ago, those with partial thickness burns, those with upper limb burns only, and those with burns of less than 10% TBSA. The results are consistent with the existing literature, which demonstrates a reduction in cSP duration in patients with a range of peripheral nerve injuries. There is a strong suggestion that cortical inhibition is altered following burn injury, and that TMS is a useful and sensitive method for investigating changes in cortical inhibition in burn patients.
