Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Motor imagery group

Motor imagery group

Other: Motor Imagery
Motor imagery is the mental execution of a movement without any overt movement or without any peripheral (muscle) activation. It has been shown that motor imagery leads to the activation of the same brain areas as an actual movement. Therefore, it is used to acquire new motor skills. Action Observation (AO) involves the dynamic process of observing purposeful actions with the intention of imitating and then practicing those actions.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Finger Tapping Task [5 minutes]

      The finger tapping task (FTT) is a motor sequence learning task in which participants are asked to tap with their non-dominant hand a 5-digits sequence (for example 4-1-3-2-4 or 2-4-13-2), as rapidly and accurately as possible, using the numeric key-buttons of a computer keyboard or a response box.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 [15 minutes]

      The Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 is the most recent version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire and the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised. It is a 12-item questionnaire to assess individual's ability to image four movements using: Internal visual imagery External visual imagery Kinesthetic imagery
