Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the physiological parameters that could be used to objectively assess the degree of kinesthetic perception. The results indicated that corticospinal tract excitability increases during kinesthetic perception. The motor response was found to have a significant role in influencing muscle activity. These findings suggest that muscle activity may be a reliable indicator for objectively evaluating kinesthetic perception. Additionally, this study revealed that the combined brain activity of the frontal and parietal areas could serve as a parameter for objectively assessing the degree of kinesthetic perception.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年,運動感覚の知覚をリハビリテーションの治療アプローチとして応用し,ギプス固定による運動機能の低下予防や疼痛抑制に効果があることを示した報告が散見される。しかし,運動感覚の知覚という心理状況は,被験者の主観を基に評価されることが多く,知覚が誘導されているかを客観的かつ簡便に判断する指標はない。その点において,本研究は臨床応用を見据え,運動感覚の知覚を簡便に評価するための生理学的指標を確立するところに意義があるものと考える。
