Clinical Study

Functional Brain Connectivity during Multiple Motor Imagery Tasks in Spinal Cord Injury

Table 2

Presented motor tasks for one upper extremity (left or right): 16 motor tasks were presented (8 independent movements (degrees of freedom) 2 directions of movement) and were then classified by proximity (proximal or distal tasks) and resulting motion (linear or rotational). For both upper extremities, the subjects watched and performed visual imagery of 32 motor tasks in total.
