The corticomuscular coupling underlying movement and its application for rehabilitation: a review

Abstract

There are plenty of people suffer from limb dysfunction caused by stroke and other factors, and it is of great social significance for the rehabilitation of patients to reconstruct brain movement function and recover voluntary motor control. In the study of EEG and its network, movement has a high activation level on the central nervous system. In the study of EMG and its network, movement has a strong synergistic effect on the peripheral nervous system. Through the study of information coupling, the control feedback mechanism between these two nervous systems can be revealed. Finally, combined with the human-computer interaction rehabilitation theory and closed-loop regulation techniques, this research will help to realize the systematic and comprehensive rehabilitation for stroke hemiplegia patients.
