Topography of Cortical Activation with Mirror Visual Feedback and Electromyography-Triggered Electrical Stimulation: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study in Healthy Older Adults
In healthy older adults, MVF paired with EMG-triggered ES enhances frontoparietal-motor engagement beyond MVF alone, with recruitment shaped by visuo-proprioceptive congruence. These findings support mechanistic plausibility and motivate dose-response optimization and patient-focused trials testing behavioral transfer in stroke.
