This review focuses on a novel rehabilitation approach known as action observation
treatment (AOT). It is now a well-accepted notion in neurophysiology that the observation of …

This article discusses recent evidence supporting the use of action observation therapy and
motor imagery practice for rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease. A main question that …

Background Action observation training and motor imagery may improve motor learning in
Parkinson's disease (PD). Objectives The objectives of this study were to assess mobility …

While it is well documented that the motor system is more than a mere implementer of motor
actions, the possible applications of its cognitive side are still under-exploited, often …

Relatively new evidence suggests that movement representation techniques (ie, therapies
that use the observation and/or imagination of normal pain-free movements, such as mirror …

Gait disorders represent a therapeutic challenge in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study
investigated the efficacy of 4-week action observation training (AOT) on disease severity …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a progressive impairment of motor skills with
deterioration of autonomy in daily living activities. Physiotherapy is regarded as an adjuvant …

Studies on action observation mostly described the activation of a network of cortical areas,
while less investigation focused specifically on the activation and role of subcortical nodes …

Background. The properties of the mirror neuron system suggest a new type of upper limb
(UL) rehabilitation in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP), based on observation of …

Following the discovery of Mirror Neuron System (MNS), Action Observation Training (AOT)
has become an emerging rehabilitation tool to improve motor functions both in neurologic …
