People with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from declining mobility capabilities, which
cause a prevalent risk of falling. Commonly, short periods of motor blocks occur during …

Introduction: Gait and balance disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD) represent a major
therapeutic challenge as frequent falls and freezing of gait impair quality of life and predict …

Objective To evaluate the effects on manual dexterity, hand grip, and pinch strength of a
single intervention focused on hand exercises. Design Randomized, controlled, blinded …

Action observation and imitation may facilitate movement in Parkinson's disease (PD).
People with PD have been found to imitate intransitive actions similarly to neurologically …

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a complex motor symptom of Parkinson's disease that manifests as
an inability to generate effective gait, leading to a significant falls risk and a severe impact on …

Objective This study investigates the impact of community-based exercises with action
observation therapy (AOT) on the physical and cognitive performance of older adults …

Background: The discovery of the Mirror Neuron System has promoted the development of
Action Observation Therapy (AOT) to improve motor and functional abilities in patients with …

In this study, we compared the effectiveness of concurrent action observation and motor
imagery (AO+ MI), observing with the intent to imitate (active observation; AO), and passive …

The discovery of cortical neurons responsive to both the observation of another individual's
movement and one's own physical movement has spurred scientists into utilising this …

Objective To test whether action observation combined with peripheral nerve electrical
stimulation was able to evoke plasticity in the primary motor cortex (M1). Methods The …
