Motor imagery and action observation: cognitive tools for rehabilitation
T Mulder - Journal of neural transmission, 2007 - Springer
Rehabilitation, for a large part may be seen as a learning process where old skills have to
be re-acquired and new ones have to be learned on the basis of practice. Active exercising …

Posture influences motor imagery: an fMRI study
Motor imagery is widely used to study cognitive aspects of the neural control of action.
However, what is exactly simulated during motor imagery is still a matter of debate. On the …

The influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet
Behavioural and functional neuroanatomy studies demonstrate that mental rotation of body
parts is carried out through a sort of inner motor simulation. Here we examined whether …

Motor imagery: a window into the mechanisms and alterations of the motor system
Motor imagery is a widely used paradigm for the study of cognitive aspects of action control,
both in the healthy and the pathological brain. In this paper we review how motor imagery …

Differential influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet in left and right handers
The representation of the body in the brain is continuously updated with regard to peripheral
factors such as position or movement of body parts. In the present study, we investigated the …

Non-physical practice improves task performance in an unstable, perturbed environment: motor imagery and observational balance training
For consciously performed motor tasks executed in a defined and constant way, both motor
imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) have been shown to promote motor learning. It is …
