Abstract
The potential distribution in volume conductor models of the spinal cord at cervical, midthoracic and lowthoracic levels, due to epidural stimulation, was, calculated. Tresbold stimuli of modeled myelinated dorsal column and dorsal root fibers were calculated and were compared with perception thresholds obtained from measurements in patients at corresponding spinal levels.
