In the last decade, many studies confirmed the benefits of mental practice with motor
imagery. In this review we first aimed to compile data issued from fundamental and clinical …

Motor simulation theory (MST;) purports to explain how various action-related cognitive
states relate to actual motor execution. Specifically, it proposes that motor imagery (MI; …

There is now compelling evidence that motor imagery (MI) promotes motor learning. While
MI has been shown to influence the early stages of the learning process, recent data …

It is well accepted that repeatedly imagining oneself acting without any overt behavior can
lead to learning. The prominent theory accounting for why imagery practice is effective …

Summary Many Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and neurofeedback studies have
investigated the impact of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) self-regulation training procedures on …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a progressive impairment of motor skills with
deterioration of autonomy in daily living activities. Physiotherapy is regarded as an adjuvant …

Background: Action observation (AO) has the potential to improve motor imagery (MI)
practice in stroke patients. However, currently only a few results are available on how to use …

The original protocol of Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) in humans implies repetitive
cortical and peripheral nerve stimuli, delivered at specific inter-stimulus intervals, able to …

Learning motor tasks involves distinct physiological processes in the cerebellum (CB) and
primary motor cortex (M1). Previous studies have shown that motor learning results in at …

Pediatric occupational therapy practitioners frequently provide interventions for children with
differences in sensory processing and integration. Confusion exists regarding how best to …
