Abstract:

Objective To observe the characteristics of neuromuscular modulation for fingers flexion under the condition of initiative inadequate of flexor digitorum.Methods In March, 2019, twelve healthy girls in college were recruited. They were measured strength of grip of right hands with the wrist on neutral position and maximum flexion, and finished 15 times of fingers flexion under 50% maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC). The surface electromyography (sEMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) were recorded synchronously, and corticomuscular coherence (CMC) was measured.Results The strength of grip decreased as wrist maximum flexion compared with that on neutral position (t = 5.757, P < 0.001), as well as mean power frequency of sEMG (t = -2.152, P = 0.043). For dynamic contraction, sEMG amplitude of flexor digitorum was higher than that of extensor (t > 2.964, P < 0.01); while sEMG amplitude of flexor digitorum was more as wrist maximum flexion (t = 4.135, P < 0.001), as well as the CMC (t > 2.203, P < 0.05).Conclusion Wrist maximum flexion may induce initiative inadequate of flexor digitorum. Cerebral related areas are activated as finger flexion under the condition of initiative inadequate, maybe a kind of compensation.
