In this paper, we discuss a variety of ways in which practising motor actions by means of
motor imagery (MI) can be enhanced via synchronous action observation (AO), that is, by …

Background Physical practice is the cornerstone of acquiring and developing movement
skills in physical education and sport. However, research has suggested that psychological …

Una similitud que existe entre todas las profesiones relacionadas con las ciencias aplicadas
a la rehabilitación es la utilización de terapias basadas en el movimiento, estas producen …

Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) have been used separately across different
populations to alleviate movement impairment. Recently these two forms of covert motor …

Research has shown that motor imagery (MI) interventions, involving the systematic and
repeated imagination of visual and kinaesthetic components of movements, can enhance …

The internal modelling deficit (IMD) hypothesis suggests that motor control issues
associated with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are the result of impaired …

Introduction For people who have had a stroke, recovering upper-limb function is a barrier to
independence. When movement is difficult, mental practice can be used to complement …

Motor simulation interventions involving motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO)
have received considerable interest in the behavioral sciences. A growing body of research …

In this study we explored training effects for combined action observation and motor imagery
(AO+ MI) instructions on a complex cup-stacking task, without physical practice. Using a …

The systematic observation and imagination of actions promotes acquisition of motor skills.
Furthermore, studies demonstrated that early sleep after practice enhances motor learning …
