Abstract：Corticomuscular coherence (CMC) is a tool for understanding how cerebral cortex controls muscle movement and evaluating the functional coupling between the cerebral motor cortex and related muscles. It is of great significance in related research on rehabilitation evaluation. Starting from the general definition of CMC, this paper summarized the frequency distribution characteristics of CMC within α, β and γ bands, introduced the influence of force level, age and pathological state on CMC from the view of theoretical research, and emphasized the application of CMC in the rehabilitation of stroke and other motor disorders. In the last part, we discussed some limitations in the research of CMC, and proposed potential improvements and explorations for the follow-up development, aiming to provide a new perspective and means for related rehabilitation research.
