Short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), facilitation (ICF) and short-interval (SICF) were assessed in the cortical motor area of first dorsal interosseous muscle (FDI) 16 healthy subjects. Paired-pulse TMS was delivered to left hemisphere at following interstimulus intervals (ISIs): 2 3 ms for SICI, 10 15 ICF 1-5 SICF. Motor-evoked potentials recorded from resting active right FDI. The effects exerted on SICI by four intensities (60-90% threshold, AMT) conditioning stimulus (S1)...
Interhemispheric interactions between the primary motor cortices (M1) have been described with a variety of TMS methods. Here we give detailed description interhemispheric period theta burst simulation (TBS), rapid method producing long lasting after-effects on excitability stimulated M1. A total 18 right handed healthy subjects participated. In most experiments, continuous and intermittent TBS (cTBS iTBS) were delivered over M1 using coil orientated to induce antero-posterior followed by...
To explore the effects of Dance Therapy (DT) and Traditional Rehabilitation (TR) on both motor cognitive domains in Parkinson's Disease patients (PD) with postural instability.Sixteen PD recent history falls were divided two groups (Dance Therapy, DT Rehabilitation, TR); nine received 1-hour classes twice per week, completing 20 lessons within 10 weeks; seven a similar cycle group sessions 60 minutes TR. Motor (Berg Balance Scale - BBS, Gait Dynamic Index GDI, Timed Up Go Test TUG, 4...
KEY POINTS Recent reports that PubMed, one of the world's leading biomedical databases, includes predatory journals and their publications[1][1],[2][2] is cause for concern. PubMed handles millions queries daily represents a key source knowledge health researchers worldwide. Much
<p class="p1">Predatory journals (PJ) exploit the open-access model promising high acceptance rate and fast track publishing without proper peer review. At minimum, PJ are eroding credibility of scientific literature in health sciences as they actually boost propagation errors. In this article, we identify issues with provide several responses, from international interdisciplinary perspectives sciences. Authors, particularly researchers limited previous experience publications, need to be...
Abstract Background Cross-education refers to increased motor output (i.e., force generation, skill) of the opposite, untrained limb following a period unilateral exercise training. Despite extensive research, several aspects transfer phenomenon remain controversial. Methods A modified two-round Delphi online survey was conducted among international experts reach consensus on terminology, methodology, mechanisms action, and translational potential cross-education, provide framework for...
To gain optimal positioning to make sure the game laws are applied in uniform way, performance of field referee must be periodically evaluated have constantly adequate training during a match and competitive season. Considering that Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test-Level 1 is frequently employed elite team sport players estimate maximal oxygen uptake (VO<inf>2max</inf>) settings, aim this cross-sectional, gender-comparative study was develop new adjusted Yo-Yo-1 equation for estimating...
Abstract Conflictual anatomical and neurophysiological findings obtained in both primates humans raised the question whether transcallosal pathway connecting two representation areas of face primary motor cortex (fM1) is absent or present but weak poorly active. To answer this study transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) electroencephalography (EEG) were combined as TMS–EEG approach to investigate fM1s from a spatial functional point view. For comparison same was used hand M1 (hM1)....
Cross-education is an established yet not fully understood phenomenon involving interhemispheric processes within the corpus callosum (CC) that result in strength gains untraining limb following training of contralateral homologous muscles. There a substantial lack cross-education studies employing lesional models. This study employed model multiple sclerosis, condition typically featuring demyelinating callosal lesions, to pinpoint CC subregions mediate cross-education, potentially...
