The Immediate Effects of Electromyographic Biofeedback on Corticomotor Excitability of the Quadriceps in Healthy Individuals
… single bout of electromyographic biofeedback on corticomotor excitability in healthy individuals. Design: A cross- over study with a one-week period between each testing session was conducted in a laboratory setting. Participants: Twelve participants (6 male, 6 female; 21.41 ± 4.41 years; 172.82 …

Neurophysiological effects of arm weight support: Implications for stroke rehabilitation
… of weight support on muscle activation and corticomotor excitability across the upper limb using multiple gradations of supportive force. Transcranial magnetic stimulation and electromyography were employed during different movement tasks. For muscles that generate shoulder abduction …

Motor and Neurophysiological Effects of Ischemic Conditioning (IC) and Tele-Based IC in Chronic Stroke
… Using neurophysiological measures to evaluate corticomotor excitability and transcallosal inhibition (TCI), these studies tested whether IC and tele-based ischemic conditioning (tele-IC) modulate corticomotor activity and motor performance. A single session of IC revealed distinct enhancements …

Neuromuscular Consequences Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
… (ACLr) participantspresent with alterations in corticomotor excitability, spinal-reflexive excitability, and voluntary activation in the quadriceps of their injured limb compared to their uninjured limb as well as matched limbs of healthy matched controls. It was also of interest to examine the …

Cortico-motor adaptations and proprioceptive acuity in patients with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament deficiency
… project was to study proprioceptive deficits and corticomotor adaptations in following ACL injuries. Methods. Ten participants with chronic ACL injuries and eight controls participated. Subjective function (KOS-ADLS) and quadriceps strength (MVC) were measured. Proprioceptive acuity was assessed …

Stimulus parameters influencing cortical responses by transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting I-wave dynamics : duration, intensity and interval between interventions
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) modulates corticomotor excitability and plasticity; however, the magnitude of the effects appears to depend on a range of stimulus parameters. Three possible critical factors of repetitive TMS (rTMS) interventions are the duration of application, the …
