“…During that condition, the magnitude of the three velocity variables regarding postural sway, but not the RMS area, decreased significantly after the intervention. In fact, these findings were consistent with the previous study demonstrating that, only during unipedal standing condition, individuals who were involved in motor imagery [ 9 ] and motor execution [ 10 ] of a body part and of the whole body had immediate beneficial effects on postural stability. Therefore, it seems likely that intervention involving MR of the foot stimuli could contribute to improving the postural stability measured immediately after intervention under a challenging standing condition (i.e., unipedal standing).…”

“…If MR of a body part involves cognitive processes used for both motor imagery and motor execution, then repeated MR for a certain period of time might activate such cognitive processes and, as a result, contribute to improving motor performance. In fact, our previous study showed that interventions that involved participants in motor imagery [ 9 ] and motor execution [ 10 ] of a body part had immediate beneficial effects on postural stability during upright unipedal standing [ 9 , 10 ]. We investigated whether a similar effect would be observed when MR, instead of motor imagery, was used for intervention.…”

The present study was designed to investigate whether an intervention during which participants were involved in mental rotation (MR) of a foot stimulus would have immediate beneficial effects on postural stability (Experiment 1) and to confirm whether it was the involvement of MR of the foot, rather than simply viewing foot stimuli, that could improve postural stability (Experiment 2). Two different groups of participants (n = 16 in each group) performed MR intervention of foot stimuli in each of the two experiments. Pre- and postmeasurements of postural stability during unipedal and bipedal standing were made using a force plate for the intervention. Consistently, postural sway values for unipedal standing, but not for bipedal standing, were decreased immediately after the MR intervention using the foot stimuli. Such beneficial effects were not observed after the MR intervention using car stimuli (Experiment 1) or when participants observed the same foot stimuli during a simple reaction task (Experiment 2). These findings suggest that the MR intervention using the foot stimuli could contribute to improving postural stability, at least when it was measured immediately after the intervention, under a challenging standing condition (i.e., unipedal standing).

“…As such, early identification of abnormalities in postural control may become important not only to discern possible risk for FXTAS, but also to identify individuals who may benefit from cognitive and physical interventions targeting postural control that may reduce risk of falls, increase functional capacity and improve quality of life (e.g. Dibrezzo et al ; Lord et al ; Yasuda et al ).…”

Recent evidence suggests that early changes in postural control may be discernible among females with premutation expansions (55-200 CGG repeats) of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene at risk of developing fragile X-associated tremor ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Cerebellar dysfunction is well described in males and females with FXTAS, yet the interrelationships between cerebellar volume, CGG repeat length, FMR1 messenger RNA (mRNA) levels and changes in postural control remain unknown. This study examined postural sway during standing in a cohort of 22 males with the FMR1 premutation (ages 26-80) and 24 matched controls (ages 26-77). The influence of cerebellar volume, CGG repeat length and FMR1 mRNA levels on postural sway was explored using multiple linear regression. The results provide preliminary evidence that increasing CGG repeat length and decreasing cerebellar volume were associated with greater postural sway among premutation males. The relationship between CGG repeat length and postural sway was mediated by a negative association between CGG repeat size and cerebellar volume. While FMR1 mRNA levels were significantly elevated in the premutation group and correlated with CGG repeat length, FMR1 mRNA levels were not significantly associated with postural sway scores. These findings show for the first time that greater postural sway among males with the FMR1 premutation may reflect CGG repeat-mediated disruption in vulnerable cerebellar circuits implicated in postural control. However, longitudinal studies in larger samples are required to confirm whether the relationships between cerebellar volume, CGG repeat length and postural sway indicate greater risk for neurological decline.

“…This study used imagery intervention for 6 months to enable patients to autonomously maintain a straight standing position, without body sway [10]. In a more recent study, Yasuda et al reported the beneficial effect of decreased body sway after performing only 20 repetitions of imagining one's own body movement (dorsiflexion-plantarflexion) [11]. For chronic post-stroke patients, Cho et al demonstrated that postural balances (Fugl-Meyer score (FMS)), functional reach (distance), and gait ability (time required for up-and-go and 10-m walk test) were improved after motor imagery training for normal gait [12].…”

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.
