Construct validity and sensitivity of the spine dysfunction, stress & sensory-motor integration questionnaire in individuals with neck dysfunction
The Spine Dysfunction – Stress and Sensory-Motor Integration Questionnaire (SD-SSMI-Q), a newly developed questionnaire, can reliably document sensory processing and sensorimotor dysfunction in those with altered sensorimotor integration (SMI) from a neck dysfunction. The SD-SSMI-Q has not been …

Development and validation of tools to examine neural correlates and constructs associated with sensorimotor integration
… neck pain (SCNP) is linked to disordered sensorimotor integration (SMI), and worse upper limb proprioception. Visuomotor force matching relies on accurate proprioception, but has not been assessed in those with SCNP. Thus, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) amplitude changes in response …

Motor training and cervical spine manipulation: effects on sensorimotor integration
… neural activity specific to the cerebellum and sensorimotor integration following a complex motor training task as compared to a simple repetitive task, suggesting that those specific regions are involved in processing of more complex motor skill learning tasks. This novel task was then coupled …

The effect of experimental pain on neural function and motor learning
… acute pain (Experiment 2) on motor learning and sensorimotor processing and provided supportive evidence for early somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) peaks as markers for sensorimotor integration (SMI) and acute pain. Motor performance was better in the presence of pain pre-motor learning and …

The effect of experimental pain on motor training performance and sensorimotor integration
Sensorimotor integration (SMI) is the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to integrate afferent (incoming) information from different body parts and formulate appropriate motor output to muscles. Effective sensorimotor integration is essential when learning new skills and when performing …

The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
… integrates sensory information; a process termed sensorimotor integration (SMI). Plasticity is the mechanism for development and learning. However, it can also be a mechanism for maladaptive changes such as the organizational changes seen in people with overuse injuries and chronic pain. These …

The effects of forward head posture on sensorimotor integration and neck and shoulder proprioception
… to measure cortical activity related to sensorimotor integration following a motor learning task. This study was the first to report differential changes to SEP peak amplitudes in response to acute alterations in afferent input to the neck induced by FHP. With the growing use of …

Impact of neck muscle fatigue on upper limb sensorimotor integration
… system, and have important role in sensory motor integration (SMI). The cerebellum is important for SMI and it is known to undergo neuroplastic changes in response to performing a novel motor acquisition task. Alterations in neck sensory input impacts motor output to upper limb muscles, cerebellar …

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the influence of multisensory processes and sensorimotor integration on motor performance
… processes relating to motor learning, sensory integration, and somatosensory processing. ADHD is associated with difficulties in motor control, including alterations to neural structure and function. However, it is unknown how these characteristics may influence motor control in adulthood. …
