What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Kinesthetic motor imagery (kMI) involves imagining the sensations of movement, activating brain regions similar to actual movement execution. It is widely used to maintain or restore motor functions, particularly in rehabilitation. Tendon vibration (TV), which stimulates proprioceptive receptors can also enhance corticospinal excitability and promote neuroplasticity. This project investigates the coupling of kMI and TV through three modalities: simultaneous application, TV application between kMI trials, or pre-application of TV to precondition the nervous system before kMI trials. The effectiveness and quality of kMI will be assessed by corticospinal excitability measurements using transcranial magnetic stimulation and EEG measures. Conducting this study in healthy participants will inform the development of optimized clinical interventions for immobilized or mobility-reduced patients.
