From: Differences in motor imagery strategy change behavioral outcome
Changes in motor skills and F-waves with each motor imagery strategy. (A) In the KMI condition, there were no significant differences in the time required to adjust the pinch force to 50% MVC between each pinch task (r = 0.06, p = 0.768). There were no significant differences in the F/M amplitude ratio between the resting and KMI conditions (r = 0.30, p = 0.170). In the KMI condition, positive correlations were found between the coefficient of variation for each pinch task (rs = 0.586, p = 0.005). (B) In the number visualizing condition, there were no significant differences in the time required to adjust the pinch force to 50% MVC between each pinch task (r = 0.04, p = 0.848). There were no significant differences in the F/M amplitude ratio between the resting and number visualizing conditions (r = 0.32, p = 0.140). In the number visualizing conditions, positive correlations were found between the coefficient of variation for each pinch task (rs = 0.606, p = 0.004). (C) The time required to adjust the pinch force to 50% MVC was significantly shorter for the pinch task 2 than pinch task 1 in KMI with number visualizing condition (r = 0.69, p = 0.002). There were no significant differences in the F/M amplitude ratio between resting and KMI with number visualizing conditions (r = 0.28, p = 0.205). No correlations were observed between the coefficient of variation for each task in KMI with number visualizing condition (rs = − 0.025, p = 0.915).
