“…Vibratory stimulation is used in various medical applications such as pain management [1] or proprioceptive rehabilitation after stroke [2]. Vibratory stimulation has a powerful proprioceptive role [3,4] and when applied under strict conditions (frequency of 80-100 Hz, tendon target) [5], it can create illusions of movement also named kinesthetic illusions [6] (or tendon vibration inducing illusion) by apparently stimulating the brain motor areas. The neuronal activity in the primary motor area seems to be associated with the sensation of limb movement during tendon vibration [7].…”

Introduction Illusion of movement induced by tendon vibration is an effective approach for motor and sensory rehabilitation in case of neurological impairments. The aim of our study was to investigate which modality of visual feedback in Virtual Reality (VR) associated with tendon vibration of the wrist could induce the best illusion of movement. Methods We included 30 healthy participants in the experiment. Tendon vibration inducing illusion of movement (wrist extension, 100Hz) was applied on their wrist during 3 VR visual conditions (10 times each): a moving virtual hand corresponding to the movement that the participants could feel during the tendon vibration (Moving condition), a static virtual hand (Static condition), or no virtual hand at all (Hidden condition). After each trial, the participants had to quantify the intensity of the illusory movement on a Likert scale, the subjective degree of extension of their wrist and afterwards they answered a questionnaire. Results There was a significant difference between the 3 visual feedback conditions concerning the Likert scale ranking and the degree of wrist’s extension (p<0.001). The Moving condition induced a higher intensity of illusion of movement and a higher sensation of wrist’s extension than the Hidden condition (p<0.001 and p<0.001 respectively) than that of the Static condition (p<0.001 and p<0.001 respectively). The Hidden condition also induced a higher intensity of illusion of movement and a higher sensation of wrist’s extension than the Static condition (p<0.01 and p<0.01 respectively). The preferred condition to facilitate movement’s illusion was the Moving condition (63.3%). Conclusions This study demonstrated the importance of carefully selecting a visual feedback to improve the illusion of movement induced by tendon vibration, and the increase of illusion by adding VR visual cues congruent to the illusion of movement. Further work will consist in testing the same hypothesis with stroke patients.

“…To date, only few studies (Goble et al, ; Naito et al, ) have investigated the neural basis of lower limbs proprioception by focusing on proprioceptive‐related activity elicited by vibro‐tactile stimulation. However, this stimulus elicits an illusion of movement, likely due to activation of the muscle spindles, without any actual limb motion and therefore the intensity of the proprioceptive sensation is not referrable to a real and measurable limb position (Han, Waddington, Adams, Anson, & Liu, ; Kenzie, Ben‐Shabat, Lamp, Dukelow, & Carey, ). Conversely, limb matching tasks provide a validated and efficient method to assess position sense (Goble, ).…”

Little is known about the neural correlates of lower limbs position sense, despite the impact that proprioceptive deficits have on everyday life activities, such as posture and gait control. We used fMRI to investigate in 30 healthy right-handed and right-footed subjects the regional distribution of brain activity during position matching tasks performed with the right dominant and the left nondominant foot. Along with the brain activation, we assessed the performance during both ipsilateral and contralateral matching tasks. Subjects had lower errors when matching was performed by the left nondominant foot. The fMRI analysis suggested that the significant regions responsible for position sense are in the right parietal and frontal cortex, providing a first characterization of the neural correlates of foot position matching.

“…Functional neuroimaging studies have attempted to determine the brain areas responsible for proprioceptive processing, but there remains disagreement as to the specific brain regions involved (Kenzie, Ben-Shabat, Lamp, Dukelow, & Carey, 2018). Moreover, due to the difficulty of uncoupling proprioception from motor control (Scott, 2012), most of the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies had to limit the study of proprioceptive mechanisms to the perception of limb displacement and position in the absence of movement execution.…”

“…Specifically, these studies identified the specific brain areas related to limb proprioception during illusory movements elicited by vibrotactile stimulation (Goble et al, 2011;Goble et al, 2012;Naito et al, 2007). Though interesting, such findings cannot reliably measure limb position, as the vibrotactile stimulus elicits an illusion of movement, likely due to activation of the muscle spindles, without any actual limb motion (Han, Waddington, Adams, Anson, & Liu, 2016;Kenzie et al, 2018).…”

Proprioceptive information allows humans to perform smooth coordinated movements by constantly updating one's mind with knowledge of the position of one's limbs in space. How this information is combined with other sensory modalities and centrally processed to form conscious perceptions of limb position remains relatively unknown. What has proven even more elusive is pinpointing the contribution of proprioception in cortical activity related to motion. This study addresses these gaps by examining electrocortical dynamics while participants performed an upper limb position matching task in two conditions, namely with proprioceptive feedback or with both visual and proprioceptive feedback. Specifically, we evaluated the reduction of the electroencephalographic power (desynchronization) in the μ frequency band (8–12 Hz), which is known to characterize the neural activation associated with motor control and behavior. We observed a stronger desynchronization in the left motor and somatosensory areas, contralateral to the moving limb while, parietal and occipital regions, identifying association and visual areas, respectively, exhibited a similar activation level in the two hemispheres. Pertaining to the influence of the two experimental conditions it affected only movement's offset, and precisely we found that when matching movements are performed relying only on proprioceptive information, a lower cortical activity is entailed. This effect was strongest in the visual and association areas, while there was a minor effect in the hand motor and somatosensory areas.
