Stable correlations between the amplitude parameters of stimulation myography of forearm muscles and parameters of bimanual coordination of complex voluntary purposeful movements during performance of tasks of different complexity were studied in men and women. We found that men are characterized by higher coordination of hand movements and selective involvement of motor units of flexor and extensor muscles innervated by stimulated nerves during motor task performance with minimum number of errors. In women characterized by relatively low level of bimanual coordination, generalized involvement of neuromuscular units of the right and left forearms into realization of motor programs, potentiation of interactions with increasing the task complexity, and correction after errors were observed.

Event-related theta synchronization over sensorimotor areas differs between younger and older adults and is related to bimanual motor control.

When engaged in dynamic or continuous movements, action initiation involves modifying an ongoing motor program rather than initiating it from rest. Event-related theta synchronization over sensorimotor areas is a neurophysiological marker for modifying motor programs. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to examine how task complexity and age affect event-related synchronization (ERS) in the theta band during a dynamic bimanual, visuomotor pinch force task.

Most activities of daily life involve some degree of coordinated, bimanual activity from the upper limbs. However, compared to single-handed movements, bimanual movements are processed, learned, and controlled from both hemispheres of the brain. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that enhances motor learning by modulating the activity of movement-associated brain regions.

Importance: To efficiently perform bimanual daily tasks, bimanual coordination is needed. Bimanual coordination is the interaction between an individual's hands, which may be impaired post-stroke, however clinical and functional assessments are lacking and research is limited.
Objectives: To develop a valid and reliable observation tool to assess bimanual coordination of individuals post-stroke.
Retention of bimanual performance following hand arm bimanual intensive therapy in children with unilateral cerebral palsy: A six-month longitudinal study.

Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT) enhances upper extremity (UE) function and bimanual coordination in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). Previous studies assessed immediate improvements in UE function using clinical and self-reported measures, which may not accurately reflect real-world UE performance and their long-term retention effects. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the retention of real-world bimanual performance gains over time following HABIT in children with UCP.

In current neuroscience, there is a pressing need to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for motor and cognitive disorders. In addition, there is a gap in the literature on assessing this type of rehabilitation. This review proposes using Movement-Related Potentials (MRPs) as a relevant marker for such evaluations.
