Onset latency and amplitude of the movement of the foot, and latencies and durations of the EMG bursts in the leg movement task
| Measurement | Control | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Onset latency of footMOV | 237.6 ± 98.0 | 122.6 ± 25.3* |
| Magnitude of footMOV | 209.2 ± 92.8 | 244.1 ± 102.5 |
| Onset of pmsp in TRS | 130.2 ± 46.8 | 68.5 ± 8.4* |
| Duration of pmsp in TRS | 114.6 ± 57.1 | 60.9 ± 17.0* |
| Interval from onset of pmsp to onset of the TA burst | 54.2 ± 22.2 | 46.2 ± 11.1 |
| Duration of TA burst | 81.8 ± 32.7 | 77.9 ± 12.4 |
| Interval between EMG onset in TA and EMG onset in TRS | 62.0 ± 18.1 | 53.3 ± 16.0 |
Values are the mean ± S.D. of the measurements listed in the left column. FootMOV, foot movement; TRS, triceps surae; TA, tibialis anterior; pmsp, premovement silent period. All data are given in milliseconds, except for amplitude of foot movement, which is given in arbitrary units.
P < 0.05 comparing test and control trials.
