| Abstract | person imagery was to imagine that a subject moved the feet; and thirdperson imagery was to watch other person move the feet. tDCS was given in either of 2 patterns, that is, Anode and Sham. H reflexes were measured for firstand third-person imagery as well as at rest before and after tDCS interventions using the Neuropack (Nihon Kohden Corp.). A surface electrode was stuck to the muscle-tendon transition zone of the soleus muscle to measure H-waves after stimulating the tibial nerve with electricity. A cathode was placed on the left movement-related region, while an anode was placed on the right forehead. Then tDCS was given at the stimulation intensity of 2 mA for 10 minutes. H waves appearing at 20% of the intensity of the maximum M wave amplitude were measured 10 times and these 10 acquired values were averaged. H/Mmax ratios were used for data analysis. Results: H/Mmax ratios were significantly increased in both firstand third-person imagery compared to resting ratios. There was no significant difference between before and after the tDCS intervention. The Anode group tended to show an increase in the ratios at resting, thirdor firstperson imaging compared to the Sham group. Conclusions: It was clarified that motor imagery increased the excitability of the anterior horn cell of spinal cord. There was no obvious influence of tDCS, when applied to the motor-related region, on the spinal cord excitability. |
