This work aimed to investigate the immediate effects of tsES on the cortico-muscular descending patterns during voluntary upper extremity (UE) muscle contractions by analyzing cortico-muscular coherence (CMCoh) and electromyography (EMG) in people with chronic stroke.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Twelve chronic stroke participants were recruited to perform wrist-hand extension and flexion tasks at submaximal levels of voluntary contraction for the corresponding agonist flexors and extensors. During the tasks, the tsES was delivered to the cervical spinal cord with rectangular biphasic pulses. Electroencephalography (EEG) data were collected from the sensorimotor cortex, and the EMG data were recorded from both distal and proximal UE muscles. The CMCoh, laterality index (LI) of the peak CMCoh, and EMG activation level parameters under both non-tsES and tsES conditions were compared to evaluate the immediate effects of tsES on the cortico-muscular descending pathway.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The CMCoh and LI of peak CMCoh in the agonist distal muscles showed significant increases (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05) during the wrist-hand extension and flexion tasks with the application of tsES. The EMG activation levels of the antagonist distal muscle during wrist-hand extension were significantly decreased (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05) with tsES. Additionally, the proximal UE muscles exhibited significant decreases (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05) in peak CMCoh and EMG activation levels by applying tsES. There was a significant increase (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05) in LI of peak CMCoh of proximal UE muscles during tsES.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The cervical spinal cord neuromodulation via tsES enhanced the residual descending excitatory control, activated the local inhibitory circuits within the spinal cord, and reduced the cortical and proximal muscular compensatory effects. These results suggested the potential of tsES as a supplementary input for improving UE motor functions in stroke rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2024.1372158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]],"date-time":"2024-03-21T04:54:48Z","timestamp":1710996888000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effects of non-invasive cervical spinal cord neuromodulation by trans-spinal electrical stimulation on cortico-muscular descending patterns in upper extremity of chronic stroke"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jianing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maner","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monzurul","family":"Alam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Ping","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fuqiang","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoling","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1394","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awu038","article-title":"Altering spinal cord excitability enables voluntary movements after chronic complete paralysis in humans","volume":"137","author":"Angeli","year":"2014","journal-title":"Brain"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"797559","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2021.797559","article-title":"How does stroke affect skeletal muscle?
