Abstract:

The overall goal of this study is to investigate the role of parietal cortex in the control of walking in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS). We examined within-brain connectivity and cortico-muscular connectivity as pwMS and healthy control (HC) participants walked on an instrumented treadmill. Cortical activity was collected using EEG, muscle activity was collected using wireless EMG modules, and gait data were obtained by using the instrumented treadmill. Results show significant activation of sensorimotor and posterior parietal cortex during walking in both groups. Connectivity between parietal (posterior cingulate cortex PCC) and premotor regions (pars opercularis), and between PCC and contralateral muscles were higher in the healthy control group. Higher connectivity correlated with higher walking speed.
