Abstract:[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the difference in the excitability of the primary
motor cortex between initiation-predictive and non-predictive tasks, where the onset of
muscle relaxation is predicted and not predicted, respectively. [Participants and Methods]
Seventeen participants were asked to perform rapid muscle relaxation either through an
initiation-predictive or non-predictive task. The baseline was set at 20 percent of the
maximum voluntary contraction. Motor-evoked potentials and H-reflexes eli… Show more
