Background Integration of information between multiple cortical regions the pain neuromatrix is thought to underpin modulation. Although altered processing in primary motor (M1) and sensory (S1) cortices implicated separate studies, simultaneous changes relationship these are unknown yet. The aim was assess effects anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) over superficial on M1 S1 excitability. secondary investigate how excitability affect (STh) thresholds (PTh). Methods...
Previous researchers have approved the ability of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) primary motor cortex (M1) to enhance corticospinal excitability (CSE). The aim study was investigate effect concurrent M1 and a functionally connected cortical site on CSE modulation. This new technique is called unihemispheric dual-site a-tDCS (a-tDCSUHCDS). secondary mechanisms underlying efficacy this approach in healthy individuals. In randomized crossover study, 12 right-handed...
Aim To investigate whether hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle affect corticospinal excitability, intracortical inhibition (ICI) or facilitation (ICF) in primary motor cortex, and also have any effect on manual dexterity neurologically intact women. Materials Methods Twenty volunteers (10 Female, 10 Male) were included this study. The levels of progesterone estradiol measured from saliva women’s follicular, ovulation mid-luteal phases. Motor evoked potentials recorded right...
Abstract The primary aim of this study was to assess the effects cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (c‐ tDCS ) over cortical regions pain neuromatrix, including motor (M1), sensory (S1) and dorsolateral prefrontal ( DLPFC cortices on M1/S1 excitability, ST h), thresholds PT h) in healthy adults. secondary evaluate placebo c‐ induced behavioural changes. Before, immediately after 30 min amplitude N20–P25 components somatosensory evoked potentials SEP s) peak‐to‐peak amplitudes...
Physical activity is a powerful modifiable risk factor for disease and mortality. levels in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) have not been quantified relative to uninjured individuals large population-based sample. We aimed quantify compare physical without SCI, examine the associations between activity, lifestyle, socioeconomic factors. The 2010 Canadian Community Health Survey (n > 57,000) was used, which includes three measures that assess (i.e., leisure time frequency, intensity,...
We aimed to assess the effects of concurrent cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (c-tDCS) two targets in a hemisphere, termed unihemispheric dual-site tDCS (c-tDCSUHCDS ), on size M1 corticospinal excitability and its lasting effect. Secondary aims were identify mechanisms behind efficacy c-tDCSUHCDS evaluate side this new technique. Twelve healthy volunteers received 20 min c-tDCS under five conditions random order: c-tDCS, M1-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), M1-primary...
Context: Coactivation of abdominal and pelvic-floor muscles (PFM) is an issue considered by researchers recently. Electromyography (EMG) studies have shown that the abdominal-muscle activity a normal response to PFM activity, increase in EMG concomitant with contraction was also reported. Objective: The purpose this study compare changes deep during (abdominal hollowing bracing) without healthy low-back-pain (LBP) subjects. Design: A 2 × repeated-measures design. Setting: Laboratory....
Individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Exercise is well-established preventing disease; however, there limited straightforward and safe exercise approaches increasing the activity of cardiorespiratory system after SCI. The objective this study was to investigate response passive leg cycling in people Beat-by-beat blood pressure, heart rate, cerebral flow were measured before throughout 10 minutes 11 Femoral artery flow-mediated...
