Visuomotor Training to Enhance Proprioception of Contralateral Wrist Based on the Cross-Transfer Effect.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neurological diseases such as stroke or Parkinson's disease are often accompanied by weakening or loss of proprioception, which seriously affects the motor control ability of the patients. However, proprioception rehabilitation is challenging due to the pain caused by impaired joints and the hard efforts that patients have to make during training. This study investigated the cross-transfer effect of short-term visuomotor training to the untrained wrist from the trained wrist, from both views of behavioral results and brain activity analyses.

Methods

Thirty healthy volunteers aged 25.53 ± 4.95 years were recruited for this study. They were randomly assigned into two groups: the visuomotor (n = 15) group performed visuomotor training (VM group) and the conventional
