Measurement of Knee Extensor Torque During Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation: Comparison of the Forces Induced by Different Stimulators.

Objective: To investigate the factors that induce strong contractions during repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) and compare the muscle torque induced by two stimulators (Stim A and Stim B) with different coil properties.

Methods: rPMS was applied to the right vastus lateralis of 30 healthy young adults. Stim A contained a 10.

Factors Involved in Higher Knee Extension Torque Induced by Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation.

Objective: The study aimed to determine the relationship between knee extension torque induced by repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation and the characteristics of the participants.

Design: This was a basic study with noninvasive intervention. Knee extension torque induced by repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation-induced torque) and maximum voluntary contraction were measured.

Individual differences in processing ability to transform visual stimuli during the mental rotation task are closely related to individual motor adaptation ability.

Mental rotation (MR) is a well-established experimental paradigm for exploring human spatial ability. Although MR tasks are assumed to be involved in several cognitive processes, it remains unclear which cognitive processes are related to the individual ability of motor adaptation. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between the response time (RT) of MR using body parts and the adaptive motor learning capability of gait.

Visual Attention and Motion Visibility Modulate Motor Resonance during Observation of Human Walking in Different Manners.

To advance our knowledge on the motor system during cyclic gait observation, we aimed to explore the effects of gaze fixation on corticospinal excitability evaluated by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Fourteen healthy adult volunteers watched a video of a demonstrator walking on a treadmill under three different conditions: (1) observing the right lower limb, (2) observing the right ankle joint, and (3) observing the right lower limb on a video focused on the area below the knee. In each condition, motor-evoked potentials elicited by TMS in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle were measured synchronously with the demonstrator's initial contact and toe-off points.
