Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect on spinal nerve function that differences in the motor image method. Methods: We recorded the F-wave during three different methods of MI from previous research as follows. Vision imagery is the method that subjects image the digital digits to display pinch force. Muscle imagery is the method that subjects image the muscle contraction during pinching. Sensory imagery is the method that subjects image the feeling you hold down the pinch sensor. Results: Both persistence and F/M amplitude ratios motor imagery under vision-image, muscle-image and sensory-image significantly higher than that observed at rest. No significant were noted in relative data for amplitude ratio of F/M and persistence between motor imagery that three image way. Conclusion: Motor imagery under three different methods as vision-image or muscle-image and sensory-image was no significant difference in the excitability of spinal neural function between the three MI methods condition. However excitability of spinal neural function during imaging under all conditions tended to be higher during motor imager than at rest.
