Visual information affects static postural control, but how it affects dynamic postural control still needs to be fully understood. This study investigated the effect of proprioception weighting, influenced by the presence or absence of visual information, on dynamic posture control during voluntary trunk movements. We recorded trunk movement angle and angular velocity, center of pressure (COP), electromyographic, and electroencephalography signals from 35 healthy young adults performing a standing trunk flexion-extension task under two conditions (Vision and No-Vision). A random forest analysis identified the 10 most important variables for classifying the conditions, followed by a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed lower maximum forward COP displacement and trunk flexion angle, and faster maximum flexion angular velocity in the No-Vision condition. Additionally, the alpha/beta ratio of the POz during the switch phase was higher in the No-Vision condition. These findings suggest that visual deprivation affects cognitive- and sensory-integration-related brain regions during movement phases, indicating that sensory re-weighting due to visual deprivation impacts motor control. The effects of visual deprivation on motor control may be used for evaluation and therapeutic interventions in the future.
视觉信息会影响静态姿势控制,但它如何影响动态姿势控制仍需要充分了解。本研究旨在调查本体感受权重的影响,这种权重受视觉信息的有无影响,对自愿躯干运动期间的动态姿势控制的影响。我们记录了 35 名健康年轻成年人在两种条件(视觉和无视觉)下进行站立躯干屈伸任务时的躯干运动角度和角速度、中心压力(COP)、肌电图和脑电图信号。随机森林分析确定了用于对条件进行分类的 10 个最重要的变量,然后进行了 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验。结果表明,在无视觉条件下,最大前向 COP 位移和躯干前屈角度更低,最大前屈角速度更快。此外,在无视觉条件下,POz 切换阶段的 alpha/beta 比值更高。这些发现表明,在运动阶段,视觉剥夺会影响与认知和感觉整合相关的大脑区域,这表明由于视觉剥夺导致的感觉重新加权会影响运动控制。视觉剥夺对运动控制的影响可用于未来的评估和治疗干预。
