| Research Abstract |
This study examined the changes of corticospinal excitability during observation and imagery of walking. During observation of actors' stepping over an obstacle and landing on unstable surface, corticospinal excitability increased in phase-dependent manner. During combining observation and imagery of walking, corticospinal excitability increased at both swing and stance phases. These findings suggest that observation of walking which required cortical control or combining observation and imagery of walking are effective as means of the mental practice for recovery of walking ability.
