“…In rehabilitation-related research, some studies have reported that physical function is improved by mental practice in stroke patients [2][3][4][5][6]19) ; however, our results showed that impaired motor imagery ability in the CVA group, suggesting that a strategy for therapeutic intervention with motor imagery is expected to have a high therapeutic effect because of the impaired attention of stroke patients. In the present study, the number of participants was too few to test reliability.…”

“…In humans, this type of injury strongly correlates with paralysis, sensory deficits, impairments in learning and memory, and disability in activities of daily living [ADL]; however, there are few effective therapies for the treatment of ischemic stroke 1) . Recent evidence suggests that the use of motor imagery training, as an additional therapy, has an effect on motor recovery after stroke [2][3][4][5][6] .…”

Abstract. [Purpose] In this study, we investigated the motor imagery ability of hemiplegic stroke patients. [Subjects] The subjects were 29 healthy individuals (average age, 63.5 ± 11.7), and 31 hemiplegic stroke patients (average age, 64.5 ± 9.5).[Method] Motor imagery was evaluated using the reaction time of mental rotation in response to photographs of a rotated hand.[Results] The reaction time was delayed in stroke patients compared to healthy individuals, and post-stroke mental rotation was better when viewing photographs of the unaffected than of the affected side. Impaired attention is associated with mental rotation ability; in contrast, motor function, deep sensory factor, lapsed days from onset and the brain damaged side were less associated with rotation ability in stroke patients.[Conclusion] Therapeutic intervention using motor imagery is expected to have a high therapeutic effect because of its affect on impaired attention.

“…Further, visualisation has been successfully used in stroke rehabilitation patients. In this case motor imagery of an action is used where execution is not possible, and has been found to have beneficial effects on functionality following stroke (e.g., Page, Levine & Leonard, 2005), and even on muscle strength (Lebon, Collet, & Guillot, 2010).…”

The present research explored whether visualising engaging in a health behaviour resulted in increased intentions to engage in that behaviour, when combined with an informational health message. Further, the effects of the visual perspective (firstperson vs. third-person) used to visualise the health behaviour were explored. In an online questionnaire study employing a 2 x 3 between-participants experimental

“…Page and his colleagues have demonstrated that motor imagery training has beneficial effects on upper extremity function as measured by the FMS of motor recovery, motor activity log, and action research arm (ARA) test in subacute [13] and chronic patients [14][15][16]. Particularly, Page's works used randomized control trial to verify the availability of motor imagery training, which contributed to demonstrate high clinical evidence for the enhancement of upper extremity function, measuring ARA test, motor assessment scale, and the FMS in stroke patients [17].…”

Motor imagery training is applied to a rehabilitation program based on previous studies regarding neuroscience and behavioral science. Motor imagery training is useful because it can be applied to almost all patients in clinical settings. However, because motor imagery training has some shortcoming, clinicians need to consider its shortcoming. The objective of this chapter is to promote understanding about using motor imagery effectively.
