AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of water 
      immersion (WI) on short- and long-latency afferent inhibition (SAI and LAI), 
      short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), and intracortical facilitation 
      (ICF). METHODS: Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were measured from the first 
      dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle of fifteen healthy males before, during, and 
      after a 15-min WI at 30 degrees C up to the axilla. Both SAI and LAI were evaluated by 
      measuring MEPs in response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the left 
      motor cortex following electrical stimulation of the right median nerve (fixed at 
      about three times the sensory threshold) at interstimulus intervals (ISIs) of 20 
      ms to assess SAI and 200 ms to assess LAI. The paired-pulse TMS paradigm was used 
      to measure SICI and ICF. RESULTS: Both SAI and LAI were reduced during WI, while 
      SICI and ICF were not significantly different before, during, and after WI. 
      CONCLUSIONS: WI decreased SAI and LAI by modulating the processing of afferent 
      inputs. SIGNIFICANCE: Changes in somatosensory processing and sensorimotor 
      integration may contribute to the therapeutic benefits of WI for chronic pain or 
      movement disorders.
