Motor imagery practice is a current trend, but there is a need for a systematic integration of
neuroscientific advances in the field. In this review, we describe the technique of motor …

The corpus callosum, which is the largest white matter structure in the human brain,
connects the 2 cerebral hemispheres. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the independent …

The peripersonal space is an adaptive and flexible interface between the body and the
environment that fulfills a dual-motor function: preparing the body for voluntary object …

Limb immobilization and nonuse are well-known causes of corticomotor depression. While
physical training can drive the recovery from nonuse-dependent corticomotor effects, it …

Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, ie the peripersonal
space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are …

This study aimed at determining whether the combination of action observation and motor
imagery (AO+ MI) of locomotor tasks could positively affect rehabilitation outcome after hip …

Objective Interhemispheric inhibition is an important cortical mechanism to support motor
control. Altered interhemispheric inhibition has been the target of neuromodulation …

In the last decade, several exoskeletons for shoulder rehabilitation have been presented in
the literature. Most of these devices focus on the shoulder complex and limit the normal …

Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability, and there are few treatments that can
improve recovery after stroke. Therapeutic development has been hindered because of a …

Purpose: To demonstrate, in a proof-of-concept study, whether potentiating ipsilesional
higher motor areas (premotor cortex and supplementary motor area) augments and …
