Cortical proprioceptive processing can be investigated using corticokinematic coherence (CKC). The findings show that CKC method is sensitive to temporal stability in the stimulation sequence. Although both regular and irregular sequences resulted in robust coherence, the regular stimulation sequence with pneumatic movement actuator is recommended to maximize coherence strength and reproducibility to allow better comparability between groups or populations.
