Facilitation of Corticospinal Excitability According to Motor Imagery and Mirror Therapy in Healthy Subjects and Stroke Patients
OBJECTIVE To delineate the changes in corticospinal excitability when individuals are asked to exercise their hand using observation, motor imagery, voluntary exercise, and exercise with a mirror. METHOD The participants consisted of 30 healthy subjects and 30 stroke patients. In healthy subjects, the amplitudes and latencies of motor evoked potential (MEP) were obtained using seven condition...
متن کاملVirtual Reality-Guided Motor Imagery Increases Corticomotor Excitability in Healthy Volunteers and Stroke Patients
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of using motor imagery (MI) in combination with a virtual reality (VR) program on healthy volunteers and stroke patients. In addition, this study investigated whether task variability within the VR-guided MI programs would influence corticomotor excitability. METHODS The present study included 15 stroke patients and 15 healthy right-handed volunteers who w...
متن کاملEffect of Mirror Therapy on the Motor Recovery in Patients After Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Objectives: One of the most important problems seen in patients after stroke is that they cannot develop normal muscle strength. In recent years, the use of Mirror Therapy (MT) in the recovery of this condition has been noticed in different studies. This study investigated the effect of MT on motor recovery in patients after stroke. Methods: In this clinical trial, 93 patients were divided int...
متن کاملThe effect of mirror therapy on motor abilities of patients with stroke
Background: Stroke is one of the major causes of disability. Therefore, it is important to introduce and develop new treatment approaches in order to improve and enhance post stroke recovery process for medical, social and economical purposes. Aim: To determine the effect of mirror therapy on motor ability of patients with stroke. Methods: This Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted on 38 pa...
متن کاملEnhanced motor cortex excitability during ipsilateral voluntary hand activation in healthy subjects and stroke patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is still a matter of debate whether the ipsilateral voluntary hand activation has a facilitatory or inhibitory effect on the nondominant or affected hemisphere. To give an answer to this question is of great importance for the rehabilitation of stroke patients, because they often use the unaffected hand for compensation. METHODS Ten healthy volunteers and 11 stroke p...
