Timing-dependent inhibitory effects of peripheral somatosensory inputs on the primary motor cortex: A transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography study

Short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI) is a transient suppression of corticomotor excitability elicited by peripheral electrical stimulation (ES). When the interstimulus interval (ISI) between ES and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was set to 2 or 5 ms after the estimate...

Association of chronic pain and slower processing speed with falls in community-dwelling older adults

Background: Falls in older adults are a major public health concern. Chronic pain and slower processing speed are risk factors for falls; however, their combined effect on falls remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to assess whether the coexistence of chronic pain and slower...

Feasibility and effects of a multicomponent program incorporating esports on physical and cognitive function among older adults: A non-randomised pilot trial

Background Esports (competitive and organised video gaming) may enhance physical and cognitive health in older adults. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility and effects of a multicomponent program incorporating esports on physical and cognitive function in communit...
