Tokyo, June 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061596) titled 'Effects of a Rubber Foot Illusion-Based Visual-Motor Illusion on Corticospinal Excitability and Body Awareness' on June 1.
Study Type:
Interventional
Study Design:
Basic Design - Cross-over
Randomization - Randomized
Blinding - Open -no one is blinded
Control - Active
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - Juntendo University.
Condition:
Condition - healthy adults
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - This study aims to investigate the effects of visual-motor illusion combined with visuo-tactile stimulation (VTS) based on the rubber foot illusion on corticospinal excitability and body awareness.
Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - In the VMI condition, participants will observe a horizontally flipped first-person perspective video of left ankle dorsiflexion as movement of the right ankle.
Interventions/Control_2 - In the VTS-VMI condition, participants will receive synchronous brush stimulation on the dorsum of the right foot while observing a horizontally flipped first-person perspective video of brush stimulation applied to the dorsum of the left foot. Participants will then observe a video of ankle dorsiflexion movement.
