Peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) is an emerging non-invasive technique with promising applications in rehabilitation medicine and neurological disorders. This talk will explore the principles of PMS, its advantages over traditional electrical stimulation methods, and its current applications in clinical practice. We will discuss recent technological advancements in PMS devices, including the development of portable systems. The presentation will highlight ongoing research in various fields, from muscle activation to pain management, with a special focus on potential applications in pediatric rehabilitation. By examining the challenges and opportunities in PMS research, we aim to stimulate interdisciplinary discussions and inspire future innovations in this exciting field of biomedical engineering.
