External and internal focus of attention differentially modulate corticospinal excitability in anticipatory postural adjustments

Abstract Whether attentional focus modulates the corticospinal excitability of the lower limb muscles in anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) when performing a ballistic movement of the upper limb remains unclear. The present study used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to examine the cort...
