Abstract:We have previously shown that healthy subjects can transfer coordination skills to the unpracticed hand by performing a unimanual task with the other hand and visualizing a bimanual action using a game-like interactive system. However, whether this system could be used to transfer coordination skills to the paretic hand after stroke and its underlying neural mechanism remain unknown. Here, using a game-like interactive system for visualization during physical practice in an immersive virtual reality environmen… Show more
“…The resting motor threshold (RMT) was determined as the minimum stimulus intensity required to elicit a minimum of 5 out of 10 MEPs with an amplitude exceeding 50 µV. Subsequently, the stimulus intensity was adjusted to 150% of the RMT for the LM coil orientation and 110% of the RMT for both the PA and AP coil orientations [19]. To ensure direct stimulation (D-wave) of corticospinal neurons at the LM coil orientation, a higher stimulus intensity was administered.…”
