Intensity matters: Therapist-dependent dose of spinal transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation - Fig 3

<p><b>A)</b> Effect of TENS and sham stimulation applied by Therapist 1 and Therapist 2 on the amplitude of the Hmax reflex (During/Post-Test minus Pre-Test). *: <i>p</i><0.05. <b>B)</b> Correlation between H-reflex and current density. Soleus Hnor reflex amplitude recorded after 10min at the end of the TENS stimulation was characterized by a significant negative correlation with current density applied at the T12 level by both therapists. Positive values indicate excitation and negative values indicate inhibition of the normalized Soleus H-reflex.</p
