Abstract		The effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on the electromyographic (EMG) components of the flexor reflex were studied in 16 patients with complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries. The reflex responses of the tibialis anterior muscle were elicited by stimulation of the sural nerve before and after TENS applied over the sural nerve and occasionally also over the femoral cutaneous nerves on the investigated side. A profound, prolonged, bilateral depression of both reflex components was observed following the application of TENS over the sural and femoral cutaneous nerves.
