A single exposure to prolonged flexor carpi radialis muscle vibration increases sensorimotor cortical areas activity
Résumé
Prolonged local vibration (LV) is thought to promote brain plasticity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we used electroencephalography in healthy subjects and found increased activity in primary motor, primary somatosensory, and posterior parietal areas after a single exposure to LV. This may be due to LV-induced Ia afferents inputs projecting onto cortical areas through proprioceptive pathways, and likely triggering brain plasticity.
