[Purpose] We often perform physical therapy using motor imagery of muscle contraction to improve motor function for healthy subjects and central nerve disorders. This study aimed to determine the differences in the excitability of spinal motor neurons during motor imagery of a muscle contraction at different contraction strengths. [Subjects] We recorded the F-wave in 15 healthy subjects. [Metho...

Wasting of the thenar muscles secondary to traumatic or degenerative lesions around the wristjoint has been recognised for over 100 years. In 1863 Sir James Paget described a patient whose median nerve was compressed by callus after a fracture at the wrist.
