Effect of Gait Imagery Tasks on Lower Limb Muscle Activity With Respect to Body Posture
Original language description
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gait imagery tasks on lower limb muscle activity with respect to body posture. The sitting and standing position and lower limb muscle activity were evaluated in 27 healthy subjects. Surface electromyography was assessed during rest and in three different experimental conditions using mental imagery. These included a rhythmic gait, rhythmic gait simultaneously with observation of a model, and rhythmic gait after performing rhythmic gait. The normalized root mean square EMG values with respect to corresponding rest position were compared. Standing gait imagery tasks had facilitatory effect on proximal lower limb muscle activity. However, electromyography activity of distal leg muscles decreased for all gait imagery tasks in the sitting position, when the proprioceptive feedback was less appropriate. In conclusion, the effect of motor imagery on muscle activity appears to depend on relative strength of facilitatory and inhibitory inputs.
