Abstract
Background: Mirror therapy is thought to drive interhemispheric communication, resulting in a balanced activation. We hypothesized that embodied virtual mirror visual feedback (VR-MVF) presented on a computer screen may produce a similar activation. In this proof-of-concept study, we investigated differences in movement-related cortical potentials (MRCPs) in the electroencephalogram (EEG) from different visual feedback of user movements in 1 stroke patient and 13 age-matched adults. Methods: A 60-year-old right-handed (Edinburgh score >95) male ischemic stroke [left paramedian pontine, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) = 6] patient and 13 age-matched right-handed (Edinburgh score >80) healthy adults (58 ± 9 years; six female) participated in the study. We recorded 16-electrode electroencephalogram (EEG), while participants performed planar center-out movements in two embodied visual feedback conditions: (i) direct (movements translated to the avatar's ipsilateral side) and (ii) mirror (movements translated to the avatar's contralateral side) with left (direct left/mirror left) or right (direct right/mirror right) arms. Results: As hypothesized, we observed more balanced MRCP hemispheric negativity in the mirror right compared to the direct right condition [statistically significant at the FC4 electrode; 99.9% CI, (0.81, 13)]. MRCPs in the stroke participant showed reduced lateralized negativity in the direct left (non-paretic) situation compared to healthy participants. Interestingly, the potentials were stronger in the mirror left (non-paretic) compared to direct left case, with significantly more bilateral negativity at FC3 [95% CI (0.758 13.2)] and C2 [95% CI (0.04 9.52)]. Conclusions: Embodied mirror visual feedback is likely to influence bilateral sensorimotor cortical subthreshold activity during movement preparation and execution observed in MRCPs in both healthy participants and a stroke patient.
