“…This proposition was based on several lines of evidence including the positive effects of motor imagery training in post-stroke rehabilitation (see Sharma, Pomeroy, & Baron, 2006 for a review), observations that individuals with hemiplegia display poor motor planning ability when performing prehension tasks (Crajé, Aarts, Nijhuis-van der Sanden, & Steenbergen, 2010;Mutsaarts, Steenbergen, & Bekkering, 2006;Steenbergen, Meulenbroek, & Rosenbaum, 2004) and possible motor imagery deficits in individuals with congenital hemiplegia (Crajé, van Elk et al, 2010;Mutsaarts, Steenbergen, & Bekkering, 2007;Steenbergen, van Nimwegen, & Crajé, 2007;Williams et al, in press). Studies examining the motor imagery ability of hemiplegic individuals, however, have been inconclusive and studies with children with hemiplegia are lacking.…”
