 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), The corticospinal excitability changes transiently after brief finger movement task. Many previous studies have examined the effects of particular elements of a movement task on the change of corticospinal excitability; however, it has not been determined whether the change of corticospinal excitability is affected by the movement pattern. The present study aimed to determine whether the corticospinal excitability depends on movement patterns. A sample of 15 healthy adults repeatedly performed right index finger abduction at a frequency of 1 Hz and 10% of their maximum voluntary contraction under three movement conditions as follows: continuously for 10 minutes (Continue-10 min) ; continuously for 4 minutes (Continue-4 min), and intermittently (4 seconds of movement and 6 seconds of rest) for 10 minutes (Intermittent-10 min). Excitability of the corticospinal pathway was assessed before and after the movement task by transcranial magnetic stimulation. Results indicated that motor evoked potential (MEP) immediately decreased after the movement task in the Continue-10 min and Continue-4 min conditions but did not change in the Intermittent-10 min condition. The present study demonstrated that corticospinal excitability decreases following repetitive movement but not intermittent movement.},
