“…A sensation of psychological well-being was frequently reported ( Mancinelli et al, 2006 ; Visconti et al, 2015 ). MM is further supposed to alleviate mood and anxiety disorders ( Leivadi et al, 1999 ; Sharpe et al, 2007 ; Nakano et al, 2019 ), improve the feeling of recovery, reduce physical fatigue ( Hemmings et al, 2000 ; Mori et al, 2004 ; Robertson et al, 2004 ; Ogai et al, 2008 ; Carcano et al, 2010 ; Pinar et al, 2012 ; Delextrat et al, 2013 ; Jourdain, 2015 ).…”

Selective Effects of Manual Massage and Foam Rolling on Perceived Recovery and Performance: Current Knowledge and Future Directions Toward Robotic Massages

Manual massage and foam rolling are commonly used by athletes for warm-up and recovery, as well as by healthy individuals for well-being. Manual massage is an ancient practice requiring the intervention of an experienced physiotherapist, while foam rolling is a more recent self-administered technique. These two topics have been largely studied in isolation from each other. In the present review, we first provide a deep quantitative literature analysis to gather the beneficial effects of each technique through an integrative account, as well as their psychometric and neurophysiological evaluations. We then conceptually consider the motor control strategies induced by each type of massage. During manual massage, the person remains passive, lying on the massage table, and receives unanticipated manual pressure by the physiotherapist, hence resulting in a retroactive mode of action control with an ongoing central integration of proprioceptive feedback. In contrast, while performing foam rolling, the person directly exerts pressures through voluntary actions to manipulate the massaging tool, therefore through a predominant proactive mode of action control, where operations of forward and inverse modeling do not require sensory feedback. While these opposite modes of action do not seem to offer any compromise, we then discuss whether technological advances and collaborative robots might reconcile proactive and retroactive modes of action control during a massage, and offer new massage perspectives through a stochastic sensorimotor user experience. This transition faculty, from one mode of control to the other, might definitely represent an innovative conceptual approach in terms of human-machine interactions.

“…This does not mean that we deny the fact that individual differences in the method and skill of application exist when applying these techniques, but that ignoring the basics of the differences multiplies the confounding factors. This seems to have been realised as such by other researchers who have started giving more details of the interventions used in their studies [13].…”

Similarities and Differences in East Asian Massage and Bodywork Therapies: A Critical Review

Several manual bodywork therapies that originated in Asia are related to the theory and practice of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). One of the aims of these therapies is to stimulate specific points on the body called acupoints which are the same points in which needles are inserted in acupuncture. These manual therapies, however, vary in their interpretation and explanation of the theories of TCM, and even more so, in the practical way the stimulation is applied. The aim of this paper is to clarify these differences and show how future research can benefit from specifying the actual techniques used. This paper analyses and compares research papers, textbooks, articles, official definitions and demonstrations of the techniques to highlight the similarities and differences, and examines instances in research in which the techniques were not clearly differentiated. There are many instances in the research literature in which references from one of these practices, or from acupuncture itself, has been used as evidence for other manual therapies conflating the evidence. As far as it is known, nobody has proved that inserting a needle or applying electric stimulation on a specific point on the body has the same physiological effects as pressing with a finger. Nobody has proved that applying stationary pressure has the same

“…Unlike other programs, the initial location value or number of dipoles is not set in advance. The operation is relatively simple, and while the resolution is low, the result is not a primitive spherical model, but instead a tomographic image superimposed onto Talairach atlas, which can be shown in color and three dimensions (Figure 1) [48][49][50]. LORETA is being improved, and it has recently become possible to evaluate functional lagged connectivity and the directionality of that connectivity (isolated effective coherence; iCoh) between different areas of the brain.…”

Electroencephalography - From Basic Research to Clinical Applications

In recent years, neuroscience-based rehabilitation, also known as neurorehabilitation, has been attracting increasing attention worldwide. Electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely used in clinical practice as a tool for the evaluation and treatment of rehabilitation because of its noninvasive and simple measurement of human brain activity. EEG-electromyography coherence is a method to analyze the synchronization between the motor cortex and muscle activity during movement and to quantitatively assess how the motor cortex controls muscle activity. In addition, recent advances in analysis and measurement techniques have made it possible to estimate the source of EEG signals, thus serving as a method to evaluate rehabilitation. The brain-machine interface, which integrates medicine and engineering, has been widely applied in the treatment of rehabilitation and for improving the quality of life. This chapter provides an overview of EEG, and its uses as a tool for rehabilitation assessment and treatment.
