Motor imagery training improves upper extremity performance in stroke patients
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate whether motor imagery training has a positive influence on upper extremity performance in stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four patients were randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: motor imagery (n = 12) or control (n = 12). Over the course of 4 weeks, the motor imagery group participated in 30 minutes of motor ...
متن کاملTransfer of training between distinct motor tasks after stroke: implications for task-specific approaches to upper-extremity neurorehabilitation.
BACKGROUND Although task-specific training is emerging as a viable approach for recovering motor function after stroke, there is little evidence for whether the effects of such training transfer to other functional motor tasks not directly practiced in therapy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the current study was to test whether training on one motor task in individuals with chronic hemiparesis pos...
متن کاملImplicit Motor Learning after Unilateral Stroke Using Serial Reaction Time Task
Introduction: Motor skills and learning after stroke are of a great importance. This study aimed at studying implicit learning in unilateral stroke patients using affected hand and comparison with normal subjects. Methods: A serial reaction time task by using a software was applied for studying implicit motor learning in 15 stroke patients and 15 matched normal subjects. In this task 4 squar...
متن کاملEffects of combined robotic therapy and repetitive-task practice on upper-extremity function in a patient with chronic stroke.
OBJECTIVE This article describes the effect of a robotic device combined with repetitive-task practice (RTP) on upper-extremity function in a patient with chronic stroke. METHOD The client was a 32-year-old woman, 11 months after stroke, with minimal wrist and finger movement. She received approximately 48 hr of intervention split evenly between a robotic device (Hand Mentor) and RTP during 3...
متن کاملThe addition of functional task-oriented mental practice to conventional physical therapy improves motor skills in daily functions after stroke*
BACKGROUND Mental practice (MP) is a cognitive strategy which may improve the acquisition of motor skills and functional performance of athletes and individuals with neurological injuries. OBJECTIVE To determine whether an individualized, specific functional task-oriented MP, when added to conventional physical therapy (PT), promoted better learning of motor skills in daily functions in indiv...
