Muscle activity and lower body kinematics change when performing motor imagery of gait
Original language description
Motor imagery (MI) is a mental simulation of a movement without its actual execution. Our study aimed to assess how MI of two modalities of gait (normal gait and much more posturally challenging slackline gait) affects muscle activity and lower body kinematics. Electromyography (biceps femoris, gastrocnemius medialis, rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles) as well as acceleration and angular velocity (shank, thigh and pelvis segments) data were collected in three tasks for both MI modalities of gait (rest, gait imagery before and after the real execution of gait) in quiet bipedal stance in 26 healthy young adults. No significant change was observed in electromyography activity and lower body kinematics when comparing MI tasks of normal gait. A significantly higher acceleration for the lower limb segments in the vertical direction and for the pelvis in the mediolateral and anteroposterior direction and angular velocity for pelvis in the frontal plane were found during MI of slackline gait after its real execution compared to rest. The results show that MI of normal gait does not lead to any significant changes, while MI of slackline gait affects lower body kinematics parameters.
