Improving deteriorated sensorimotor functions in older individuals is a social necessity in a
super-aging society. Previous studies suggested that the declined interhemispheric …

After stroke, the poorer recovery of motor function of upper extremities compared to other
body parts is a longstanding problem. Based on our recent functional MRI evidence on …

In this study, we demonstrate the involvement of left frontoparietal cortices in neural
processes for task-switching between skilled movements. Functional magnetic resonance …

High plantar flexor moment during the stance phase is known to cause high plantar pressure
under the forefoot; however, the effects on plantar pressure due to a change of …

[Purpose] Afferent input caused by electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve or a muscle
modulates corticospinal excitability. However, a long duration of stimulation is required to …

Objective: Post-stroke spasticity prevalence increases with time from stroke onset, and
negatively impacts the patient′ s quality of life. Vibratory stimulation (VS) to the spastic …

The ipsilateral sensorimotor cortices (dorsal premotor cortex [PMd], primary motor cortex
[M1], primary somatosensory cortex [S1], and superior parietal cortex of Area 2) are often …

Abstract [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on motor skill and
pinch grip of two different types of electrical stimulus, targeting the muscles and nerves …

反映するとされる負の BOLD 信号である [2]–[8]. 我々は, 人が認知・運動課題を遂行する際に,
様々な脳領域で計測される負の BOLD 信号に着目し, 脳の領域間で起こる抑制機構の調査を進め …

[目的] 運動前に筋と神経を対象とした 2 種類の異なる電気刺激が運動パフォーマンスとピンチ力に
与える影響を検討することである.[対象] 健常成人 8 名とした.[方法] 木球を掌で回す課題を用い …
