Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of a compliant surface on cortico-cortical causal information flow during multi-joint compound movements. Fifteen healthy adults (7 female / 8 male, 25.9 ± 4.0 years) performed 5 × 20 repetitions of bodyweight squats on firm and compliant surface. Motor behavior was quantified by center of pressure (CoP) displacements, hip movement and the root mean square of the rectus femoris activity. Using source space analysis, renormalized partial directed coherence (rPDC) computed subject-level multivariate effective brain connectivity of sensorimotor nodes. Bootstrap statistics revealed significantly decreased medio-lateral CoP displacement (p < 0.001), significantly increased velocity of medio-lateral hip motion (p < 0.001) as well as significantly lower rectus femoris activity (p < 0.01) in the compliant surface condition. On the cortical level, rPDC showed significantly modulated information flow in theta and beta frequencies for fronto-parietal edges (p < 0.01) only during the concentric phase of the movement. The compliant surface led to increased difficulties controlling hip but not center of pressure motion in the medio-lateral plane. Moreover, a decreased activation of the prime movers accompanied by modulations of effective brain connectivity among fronto-central nodes may point to altered demands on sensorimotor information processing in presence of sensory noise when performing bodyweight squats on compliant surface. Further studies are needed to evaluate a potential benefit for athletic and clinical populations."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0014-4819","1432-1106"]},"year":"2025","intvolume":" 243","status":"public","publication_status":"published","publication":"Experimental Brain Research","doi":"10.1007/s00221-025-07039-2","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2025-03-06T18:56:34Z","date_updated":"2025-03-06T18:57:03Z","volume":243,"type":"journal_article","title":"Dynamic modulations of effective brain connectivity associated with postural instability during multi-joint compound movement on compliant surface","citation":{"ama":"Lehmann T, Visser AS, Havers T, Büchel D, Baumeister J.
