Abstract

Background: The contingent negative variation (CNV) is a negative shift in electroencephalography (EEG) related to the planning and execution of an externally cued movement task. The CNV has the potential to be applied within stroke rehabilitation; however, there is insufficient knowledge about the CNV characteristics under movement conditions relevant to rehabilitation. This study explores the CNV characteristics during a functional movement task (versus a simple movement task) and when using an audio-visual cue that has been previously evaluated for its usability in stroke rehabilitation (versus a simple visual cue). Methods: Thirty healthy participants performed five randomized movement tasks: simple ankle dorsiflexion with a visual cue (1), audio-visual cue (2), and auditory-only cue (3), and sit-to-stand with a visual (4) and audio-visual cue (5). Fifty repetitions of each movement were performed while continuous EEG was recorded. The band-passed and Laplacian-filtered (Cz) EEG was averaged for each condition and the peak negativity (PN) latency and amplitude were identified. Results: PN latency was significantly later during sit-to-stand with the audio-visual cue versus the visual cue (p = 0.027). PN amplitude was significantly larger during sit-to-stand versus ankle dorsiflexion, with both visual and audio-visual cues (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: The CNV changes under more complex movement conditions. Assumptions about the MRCP from simple laboratory recordings should not be generalized to the rehabilitation setting.
