Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Neurorehabilitation aims to alleviate the impact of neurological disorders, reduce limitations in daily living, and improve social participation. To advance neurorehabilitation approaches, it is essential to explore the mechanisms behind neurological disorders, consider pathological theories and current therapies, and provide novel intervention trials. For this Topic Issue, we invite you to submit research on various subjects related to neurorehabilitation, including fundamental studies that help clarify prehabilitation evidence, research on technologies for evaluating neurological disorders, and innovative intervention research utilizing physical agent modalities, neurostimulation approaches, physical therapies, and regenerative medicine with physiotherapy. Submissions may be in the form of paradigmatic cases, narrative reviews, RCTs, cohort studies, or scoping or systematic reviews.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to examine the influence of brain activity during motor preparation on walking ability, focusing on motor control during active ankle dorsiflexion. Methods: Participants were classified into high- and low-corticomuscular coherence (CMC), an index of neuromuscular control based on the median value. Biomechanical and neurophysiological indices of active ankle dorsiflexion and walking ability were compared between the two groups. Additionally, a machine learning model was developed to accurately predict the CMC classification using brain neural activity during motor preparation. Results: The Cz-TA CMC (beta frequency band) during active ankle dorsiflexion successfully detected significant differences in the maximum dorsiflexion angle, inversion angular velocity, brain activity localization, and variations in Cz beta power values during the transition from motor preparation to execution. Furthermore, CMC identified significant differences in dorsiflexion angle changes after toe-off and inversion angles at initial contact during gait. A support-vector machine model predicting high or low CMC demonstrated high accuracy (Accuracy: 0.96, Precision: 0.92–1.00, Recall: 0.91–1.00, F1 Score: 0.95–0.96) during motor execution based on beta power values from −500 to 0 ms prior to the initiation of active ankle dorsiflexion (representing motor preparation). Conclusions: These findings highlight that the motor preparation processes of the brain during active ankle dorsiflexion are involved in walking ability and can be used to predict it. This indicator is independent of disease severity and holds the potential to provide a clinically versatile evaluation method. Full article
