Lower Extremity Muscles Strength and Gait Performance in Ambulant Stroke subjects …

Aims This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effects of motor imagery training on lower limb
motor function of stroke patients. Background Motor imagery training has played an …

Background and Purpose: A number of studies have suggested that imagery training (motor
imagery [MI]) has value for improving motor function in persons with neurologic conditions …

Objective: To evaluate the effect of mental practice on motor imagery ability and assess the
influence of motor imagery on gait rehabilitation in sub-acute stroke. Design: Randomized …

BACKGROUND: Mental practice (MP) is a cognitive strategy which may improve the
acquisition of motor skills and functional performance of athletes and individuals with …

Purpose: Although several types of occupational therapy for motor recovery of the upper
limb in patients with chronic stroke have been investigated, most treatments are performed …

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate whether motor imagery training has a
positive influence on upper extremity performance in stroke patients.[Subjects and Methods] …

Background Two different approaches have been adopted when applying motor imagery
(MI) to stroke patients. MI can be conducted either added to conventional physiotherapy or …

Background Motor imagery (MI) when combined with physiotherapy can offer functional
benefits after stroke. Two MI integration strategies exist: added and embedded MI. Both …

Background. Motor imagery (MI) consists of the mental simulation of repetitive movements
with the intention of promoting the learning of a motor skill. It seems to be an additional …
