Distinct and additive effects of visual and vibratory feedback for motor rehabilitation: an EEG study in healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The use of visual and proprioceptive feedback is a key property of motor rehabilitation techniques. This feedback can be used alone, for example, for vision in mirror or video therapy, for proprioception in focal tendon vibration therapy, or in combination, for example, in robot-assisted training. This Electroencephalographic (EEG) study in healthy subjects explored the distinct neurophysiological impact of adding visual (video therapy), proprioceptive (focal tendinous vibration), or combined feedback (video therapy and focal tendinous vibration) to a motor imagery task.

Methods

Sixteen healthy volunteers performed 20 mental imagery (MI) tasks involving right wrist extension and flexion under four conditions: MI alone (IA), MI + video feedback observation (IO),
