Vibration-induced illusion of movement is hindered by acute stroke but mostly by aging: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: The proprioceptive and visual systems play a major role in daily tasks by providing continuous feedback to the central nervous system (CNS) for coordinating movements. However, it remains unclear to what extent alterations in the proprioceptive system and CNS affect vibration-induced illusion of movement (VIM) with age and after a stroke. To address this, 29 young (26 ± 7 years), 30 older (63 ± 8 years), and 26 stroke participants (68 ± 12 years) with left arm impairment, all right-handed, received triceps brachii tendon vibration with or without visual feedback of the vibrated arm (with/without vision), as it can modulate the illusion of movement. Vibrations were applied bilaterally in healthy participants and on the impaired left arm in stroke individuals. The illusion was quantified usi
