This study aimed to investigate the effect of cervical extensor muscle fatigue on upper limb motor acquisition and retention, as well as sensorimotor integration measured via somatosensory evoked potentials. The results showed that CEM fatigue impaired upper limb motor learning outcomes along with differential changes in SEP peak amplitudes related to SMI.
Even on pain free days, recurrent neck pain alters sensorimotor integration (SMI) measured via somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs). Neck muscle fatigue decreases upper limb proprioception, and thus may interfere with upper limb motor task acquisition and SMI. This study aimed to determine the effect of cervical extensor muscle (CEM) fatigue on upper limb motor acquisition and retention; and SMI, measured via early SEPs. Twenty-four healthy right-handed individuals were randomly assigned to control or CEM fatigue. Baseline SEPs were elicited via median nerve stimulation at the wrist. Participants then lay prone on a padded table. The fatigue group supported a 2 kg weight until they could no longer maintain the position. The control group rested their neck in neutral for 5 min. Participants completed pre- and post-motor skill acquisition while seated, SEPs were again collected. Task retention was measured 24 h later. Accuracy improved post acquisition and at retention for both groups (p < 0.001), with controls outperforming the fatigue group (p < 0.05). The fatigue group had significantly greater increases in the N24 (p = 0.017) and N30 (p = 0.007) SEP peaks. CEM fatigue impaired upper limb motor learning outcomes in conjunction with differential changes in SEP peak amplitudes related to SMI.
