Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to investigate the effects of combining action observation (AO) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with motor imagery (MI) of wrist flexion on corticospinal excitability, assessed using motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and subjective vividness of MI in healthy adults. By identifying intervention conditions that more effectively facilitate MI-related corticospinal excitability, this study may contribute to the optimization of MI-based interventions for individuals with stroke or musculoskeletal disorders and to the further development of neurorehabilitation.
