Background: Individuals with acute-onset central nervous system (CNS) injury, including
stroke, motor incomplete spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury, often experience lasting …

This article discusses recent evidence supporting the use of action observation therapy and
motor imagery practice for rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease. A main question that …

Objective To investigate the effect of action observation therapy (AOT) in the rehabilitation of
neurologic and musculoskeletal conditions. Data Sources Searches were completed until …

While it is well documented that the motor system is more than a mere implementer of motor
actions, the possible applications of its cognitive side are still under-exploited, often …

Motor-cognitive intervention concepts are promising to counteract residual gait and cognitive
impairments in chronic stroke. There is, however, considerable variation in motor-cognitive …

Background There is increasing evidence for the beneficial effects of exercise training in
stroke survivors. In order to reach the desired training effects, exercise training principles …

BACKGROUND: Body weight-supported treadmill training assisted by a robotic gait orthosis
is a helpful tool for restoring a symmetrical gait pattern in people with gait discrepancies …

Following the discovery of Mirror Neuron System (MNS), Action Observation Training (AOT)
has become an emerging rehabilitation tool to improve motor functions both in neurologic …

Background Motor imagery (MI) is defined as a mentally rehearsed task in which movement
is imagined but is not performed. The approach includes repetitive imagined body …

Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are motor simulations which induce cortical
activity related to execution of observed and imagined movements. Neuroimaging studies …
