Article Abstract
Sensory-motor modality compatibility is defined as the similarity between the sensory modality and the modality of response-related effects. Previous dual-task and task-switching studies have shown higher performance costs for coordinating relatively incompatible sensory-motor modality mappings (i.e., auditory-manual and visual-vocal) compared to more compatible mappings (i.e., auditory-vocal and visual-manual). Until now, however, little attention has been paid to potential variability in effects of modality compatibility depending on different processing codes. In the present study, we independently varied the processing codes of input and output (nonverbal-spatial, nonverbal-nominal, verbal-spatial, verbal-nominal) while participants switched between incompatible and compatible sensory-motor modality mappings. Beside higher switch costs for switching between incompatible sensory-motor modality mappings than for switching between compatible mappings, the results revealed stronger effects of modality compatibility on switch costs for verbal input than for nonverbal input codes. This suggests that priming mechanisms between sensory input and compatible motor output are modulated by the processing code of the sensory input. As possible explanations, we assume a higher degree of concordance with output processing codes as well as stronger associations with potential response effects for verbal than for nonverbal input.

Neurorehabilitation in Dystonia Care: Key Questions of Who Benefits, What Modalities, and When to Intervene.

Dystonia causes involuntary, patterned movements and posturing, often leading to disability, pain, and reduced quality-of-life. Despite standard treatments such as botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections, oral medications, and deep brain stimulation therapy, many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms. There is growing evidence supporting the use of rehabilitation-based therapies in the management of certain forms of dystonia.

In the context of facial surgery, particularly reconstructive procedures, sensory recovery is a critical yet often underexplored aspect of functional rehabilitation. Sensory-motor recovery can be considered a key marker of integration following reconstructive surgery. Among sensory modalities, discriminative sensitivity is typically the last to recover, making its evaluation particularly relevant.

Individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) often experience impairments in balance, gait, and dual-task ability, limiting their functional independence and community reintegration. These deficits arise from disruptions across sensory, motor, and cognitive systems, requiring comprehensive physical therapy (PT) assessment and intervention. PT evaluations incorporate strength, coordination, and sensory integration measures using standardized outcome measures such as the Berg Balance Scale, Functional Gait Assessment, and dual-task assessments such as the Timed Up and Go (cognitive).

Active sensing is integral for survival in many organisms. While statistical regularities in natural scenes, as well as ecological relevance, are particularly relevant for shaping motor behaviors, significantly less is known about how these factors additionally influence the brain's compensatory mechanisms for the sensory consequences of self-action. Here, using different sensory modalities, species, and timescales, we review recent developments demonstrating that both state estimation and sensory gating, fundamental functions related to sensory processing during movement, are malleable and reflect statistical regularities.

Sensory-motor (SN) and virtual reality (VR) interventions have shown promise in addressing these balance issues by engaging all three components of the balance control systems. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of sensory-motor and virtual reality training on the functional status and quality of life of MS patients.
