Sensorimotor correlates of sit-to-stand in healthy adults

This study provides insights into how cortical activity modulates movement execution during sit-to-stand. The event-related spectral perturbation data contributes to our understanding of this movement by revealing frequency specific changes in cortical activity across the phases of the sit-to-stand transition. Corticomuscular coherence was highest during the flexion phase when transitioning to extension, congruent with electroencephalography and Electromyography activity levels. Whether the brain activity observed is sufficient to distinguish between kinematic phases remains to be determined.
