Feasibility, motivation, and selective motor control: Virtual reality compared to conventional home exercise in children with cerebral palsy. Neuroimage 2016;126:10619. For instance, visual feedback typically provides spatial information about a task, and auditory feedback provides temporal information. Dual adaptation to two opposing visuomotor rotations when each is associated with different regions of workspace. Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin 2014;17:143246. Biol Cybern 2002;87:26277. One is whether the manipulation of visual information affects performance (e.g., does a floor marker increases the step length of ones gait; Jiang & Norman, 2006), and the other is whether different visual cues can induce different motor responses (e.g., can people make different movements in response to different color cues of a target if they have been trained appropriately; Osu et al., 2004). Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China. -, Mouawad MR, Doust CG, Max MD, et al. Visual cues that are effective for contextual saccade adaptation. In summary, research suggests that effective manipulations of sensory information and learning contexts provide a viable way to improve motor performance, learning and rehabilitation. Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Motor learning depends on sensory information Motor learning totally depends on the sensory information received from the body Research has shown that there is a link between a typical behaviour and sensory deficits: smell, touch, vision, hearing, and balance. [29]. Consistent with this finding, other studies show that the removal of visual information hurts the performance of inexperienced individuals on a gross motor task but does not affect the performance of skilled individuals, again suggesting a link between early learning and reliance on vision (Bennett & Davids, 1995; Robertson et al., 1994). SK. In conclusion, sensory input plays a crucial role in motor function rehabilitation, and the combined sensorimotor training modality is more effective than conventional motor-oriented approaches. For instance, we previously explained that during a saccadic adaptation task, people are capable of simultaneously adapting to two different perturbations (e.g., the shifting of the target in two opposite directions) linked with two different sensory inputs (e.g., initial eye positions; Shelhamer & Clendaniel, 2002). Complementary roles of basal ganglia and cerebellum in learning and motor control. Neuron 2011;72:11123. FOIA Finally, simply encouraging patients to focus on internalizing their learning may also help lead to a better transfer of rehabilitation gains to real-world settings. Sensory Seeking vs. Sensory Avoiding in Children | Understood J Rehabil Med 2011;43:52733. Nature 2014;507:948. Overall, we believe that the manipulation of olfactory/taste information during motor learning may represent a viable new area of exploration for affecting motor performance and enhancing motor learning and rehabilitation. Proprioceptive guidance and motor planning of reaching movements to unseen targets. [48] VR rehabilitation can provide standardized or individualized intervention on patients motor functions in a circumstance with a multi-dimensional sensory input. This treatment uses sensory stimulation, such as a fast brush or light touch on skin and tapping on the muscle tendon or belly, to motivate or inhibit the neuromuscular reaction. Better performance in the trained context compared to performance in untrained contexts (Lee, Winstein, & Fisher, 2016). Adding electrical stimulation during standard rehabilitation after stroke to improve motor function. Currently, motor function rehabilitation predominantly focuses on active movement training; nevertheless, the role of sensory input is usually overlooked. This approach modulates the muscular contraction via the proprioceptive sensory system and facilitates motor rehabilitation. -, Perruchoud D, Murray MM, Lefebvre J, et al. [19]. Mink JW. Music Perception: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Using musical instruments to improve motor skill recovery following a. Voluntary functional movement necessitates preparation, execution, and monitoring functions of the central nervous system, while the monitoring needs the participation of the sensory system. [11]. motor rehabilitation; sensorimotor integration; stroke. Neuroscience 2018;368:28397. Piaget's theory suggests that children progress through a series of four different stages of cognitive development. Active Sensory Therapies Enhancing Upper Limb Recovery Among Poststroke Subjects: A Systematic Review. If a goal of rehabilitation is to enhance motor performance of patients in a variety of contexts (e.g., clinic, home, busy city street), then it is important to reduce dependence on certain sensory information that can potentially interfere with generalizing their motor performance to new environments. Under feedback control, coordination arises during the correction of deviations from the intended movement during movement execution. [25] Additionally, Petersen et al have found that whisker muscles are innervated by cholinergic motor neurons located in S1. What Happens In the Preoperational Stage? More than a decade ago, Goodale (1998) pointed out the difficulty of disentangling visual and motor information, as visual processing plays an essential role in producing purposeful motor movements. [31]. Sensory-motor transformations for speech occur bilaterally. Schneider et al have found that music-supported training can improve the motor functions of the upper extremities in post-stroke patients, via strengthening the cortical functional connections and increasing activation of the motor cortex. While MST focuses on motor rehabilitation, it is similar to the more well-established neurologic music therapy (NMT), which has been widely used for motor, language and cognitive impairments (Thaut & McIntosh, 2014). As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry. Noteboom JT, Fleshner M, & Enoka RM (2001). Taghizadeh G, Azad A, Kashefi S, et al. McIntosh GC, Brown SH, Rice RR, & Thaut MH (1997). Neuroscience 2018;368:2405. The bulk of this review has suggested that manipulating sensory information can improve motor performance and enhance rehabilitation. eCollection 2022. Goodale (1998) argued that both of the pathways play an integral role in producing purposive motor behavior. Abbreviations: M1 = primary motor area, PNF = proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, PPC = posterior parietal cortex, rTMS = repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, S1 = primary sensory area, VR = virtual reality. These patients performed worse on a motor task if the test environment lacked the augmented visual information they received in their training environment. Gao Z, Pang Z, Chen Y, Lei G, Zhu S, Li G, Shen Y, Xu W. Neurosci Bull. Motor Learning Depends on Sensory Information Modular decomposition in visuomotor learning. One reason why task-relevant sensory manipulations may be effective is due to their ability to help people direct their attention towards relevant information that will facilitate learning. Is saccadic adaptation context-specific?. Additionally, this approach uses squeezing, stretching, or light touch to relieve muscular spasms. While we primarily focus on the former type of sensory manipulation, we also discuss the latter type because such contextual manipulations are also known to affect motor performance (Wright & Shea, 1991).

Recent studies proved that crossing nerve transfer surgery could rebuild physiological connectivity . The brain is the center of mental activity, including consciousness, thinking, and memory. Learning in the latter case is likely to be transferred to different contexts because the locus of their adjustment will be internal, whereas learning in the former case may be manifested only when the wind is blowing in a certain way (i.e., context-dependent learning). 1Mrs. Rose FD, Attree EA, Brooks BM, Parslow DM, & Penn PR (2000).

That is, motor learning with specific sensory manipulations may enhance performance in the trained environment (e.g., rehabilitation room), but training effects may be diminished in untrained environments (e.g., outside of the clinic). [5] In higher-order motor behaviors, the brain must integrate sensory inputs to evaluate the surrounding environment accurately and to produce the corresponding motor outputs. [49].

Rhythmic auditory stimulation improves gait more than NDT/Bobath training in near-ambulatory patients early poststroke: A single-blind, randomized trial. Then, we discuss two emerging themes from this literature that are important for translating sensory manipulation research into effective interventions. VR and AR can be powerful tools to address the two primary themes found in this review. The movement of a single limb during locomotion can be thought of as a cycle consisting of two phases: a stance phase, during which the limb is extended and placed in contact with the ground to propel humans or other bipeds forward; and a swing phase, during which the limb is flexed to leave the ground and then brought forward to begin the next
