6.2.5 The Magstim Stimulator
The Magstim Rapid and Rapid2 Stimulators (Fig. 10), which are used with the H-coils, provide a brief magnetic pulse to stimulate deep and otherwise inaccessible nerves (1- 50Hz).
The manufacturer of the system, Magstim Company US LLC is a world market leader in Magnetic Nerve Stimulators, based upon equipment first developed by the University of Sheffield in 1985. Over of 2,000 systems are in daily use around the world in both research and clinical environments.
Figure 10: The Magstim Rapid (left) and Rapid2 (right) Stimulators
The Magstim Rapid and Rapid2 are capable of both high power single pulse and rapid rate output. In order to ensure that the correct ‘dose’ is delivered it allows predetermined power level, frequency, train duration and the interval between trains. As illustrated in Fig. 11, the Magstim Rapid and Rapid2 Software allow direct control over these parameters. Namely, the user to define, compile, edit and deliver a magnetic nerve stimulation protocol specifically configured for individual needs.
