摘要: Background Corticomotor excitability has been shown to correlate with motor learning and functional recovery. The aim of the present study was monitor changes in corticomotor pathways induced by neck training compare effects patients or knee pain pain-free participants. Methods Corticomotor assessed using transcranial magnetic stimulation electromyography at baseline, after 30 min 1 h, a 1-week follow-up visit. primary outcome measures were amplitudes latencies evoked potentials (MEPs) follow-up. Results MEP responses yielded significantly different outcomes three groups. In group training, MEP reduced between baseline (p ≤ 0.05), but no significant difference 1 h (p = 0.178) 1 week (p = 0.067). increased (p ≤ 0.01) (p < 0.001), not (p = 0.524) compared baseline. group, there over time. Conclusion Neck neuroplastic responsiveness contrast participants. Increased attention adaptive maladaptive may prove valuable process optimizing clinical outcomes.
