Factors influencing corticomuscular coherence for axial and lower limb musculature in a healthy population: a scoping review

Current evidence indicates that participant characteristics (age, athletic status) and task parameters (muscle tested, contraction type) can impact CMC, but heterogeneity in study design and analysis hampers direct comparison and causal inference. Future research should adopt longitudinal designs, standardized protocols, and advanced source localization techniques to clarify the mechanisms governing CMC in axial and lower-limb musculature.
