| Abstract | Recording transcranial magnetic stimulation-derived measures during a closed kinetic chain task can serve as a functional technique to assess corticomotor function, which may have implications for activities of daily living or lower extremity injury in physically active individuals. Given the novelty of TMS use in this way, our purpose was to first determine the intersession reliability of quadriceps corticospinal excitability during a single-leg squat. We used a descriptive laboratory study to assess 20 physically active females (22.1 ± 2.5 years, 1.7 ± 0.7 m, 66.3 ± 13.6 kg, Tegner Activity Scale: 5.90 ± 1.12) over a 14-day period. Two-way mixed effects Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (3,1) (ICC) for absolute agreement were used to assess intersession reliability. The active motor threshold (AMT) and normalized motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes were assessed in the vastus medialis of each limb. The dominant limb AMTs demonstrated moderate-to-good reliability (ICC = 0.771, 95% CI = 0.51-0.90; p < 0.001). The non-dominant limb AMTs (ICC = 0.364, 95% CI = 0.00-0.68, p = 0.047), dominant limb MEPs (ICC = 0.192, 95% CI = 0.00-0.71; p = 0.340), and non-dominant limb MEPs (ICC = 0.272, 95% CI = 0.00-0.71; p = 0.235) demonstrated poor-to-moderate reliability. These findings may provide insight into corticomotor function during activities requiring weight-bearing, single-leg movement. However, variability in agreement suggests further work is warranted to improve the standardization of this technique prior to incorporating in clinical outcomes research. |
