Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have various motor impairments, but less is known about the
processing deficits of the somatosensory afference, especially in the proprioceptive domain.
Proprioception (“the movement sense”) is behaviorally impaired primarily in the more affected hand of
children with CP1,2 and bilaterally in the lower limbs2
. There are no prior studies quantifying the cortical
proprioceptive processing in CP, but hand representation area is diminished to tactile stimuli in
hemiplegic CP3 and the primary cortical response to tibial nerve stimulation is reduced in diplegic CP4

Stronger proprioceptive BOLD-responses in the somatosensory cortices reflect worse sensorimotor function in adolescents with and without cerebral palsy
Nurmi, Timo; Jaatela, Julia; Vallinoja, Jaakko; Mäenpää, Helena; Piitulainen, Harri (Elsevier, 2021)Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor disorder where the motor defects are partly due to impaired proprioception. We studied cortical proprioceptive responses and sensorimotor performance in adolescents with CP and their ... -
Cortical Proprioceptive Processing Is Altered by Aging
Piitulainen, Harri; Seipäjärvi, Santtu; Avela, Janne; Parviainen, Tiina; Walker, Simon (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018)Proprioceptive perception is impaired with aging, but little is known about aging-related deterioration of proprioception at the cortical level. Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between limb kinematic and magnetoencephalographic ... -
Attention directed to proprioceptive stimulation alters its cortical processing in the primary sensorimotor cortex
Piitulainen, Harri; Nurmi, Timo; Hakonen, Maria (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)Movement‐evoked fields to passive movements and corticokinematic coherence between limb kinematics and magnetoencephalographic signals can both be used to quantify the degree of cortical processing of proprioceptive ... -
Quantification of cortical proprioceptive processing through a wireless and miniaturized EEG amplifier
Giangrande, A.; Cerone, G. L.; Gazzoni, M.; Botter, A.; Piitulainen, H. (IEEE, 2022)Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) is computed between limb kinematics and cortical activity (e.g. MEG, EEG), and it can be used to detect, quantify and localize the cortical processing of proprioceptive afference arising ... -
More comprehensive proprioceptive stimulation of the hand amplifies its cortical processing
Hakonen, Maria; Nurmi, Timo; Vallinoja, Jaakko; Jaatela, Julia; Piitulainen, Harri (American Physiological Society, 2022)Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) quantifies the phase coupling between limb kinematics and cortical neurophysiological signals reflecting proprioceptive feedback to the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex. We studied whether ...
