The F-wave is a motor response elicited via the antidromic firings of motor nerves by the electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves, which reflects the motoneuron pool excitability. However, the F-wave generally has low robustness i.e., low persistence and small amplitude. We recently found that motor point stimulation (MPS), which provides the muscle belly with electrical stimulation, shows different neural responses compared to nerve stimulation, e.g., MPS elicits F-waves more robustly than nerve stimulation. Here, we investigated whether F-waves induced by MPS can identify changes in motoneuron pool excitability during handgrip and motor imagery. Twelve participants participated in the present study. We applied MPS on their soleus muscle and recorded F-waves during eyes-open (EO), eyes-closed (EC), handgrip (HG), and motor imagery (MI) conditions. In the EO and EC conditions, participants relaxed with their eyes open and closed, respectively. In the HG, participants matched the handgrip force level to 30% of the maximum voluntary force with visual feedback. In the MI, they performed kinesthetic MI of plantarflexion at the maximal strength with closed eyes. In the HG and MI, the amplitudes of the F-waves induced by MPS were increased compared with those in the EO and EC, respectively. These results indicate that the motoneuron pool excitability was facilitated during the HG and MI conditions, consistent with findings in previous studies. Our findings suggest that F-waves elicited by MPS can be a good tool in human neurophysiology to assess the motoneuron pool excitability during cognitive and motor tasks.
