Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and related methods for performing neurophysiologic assessments during surgical procedures. A method includes the steps of delivering a first transcutaneous, trans-abdominal stimulation signal to a spinal nerve root superior to a surgical target site; and determining a first neuromuscular response data set, based on transmission of said first transcutaneous, trans-abdominal stimulation signal, of a muscle located inferior to said surgical target site.
