Data from 6 Systematic Reviews
When:
Motor imagery may aid in improving gait/lower limbs:
- Walking speed (3 SR)
- Balance (2 SR) (1 SR Did not find MI significant for balance)
- Motor functions of lower limbs (2 SR)
Motor Imagery may aid in improving Upper limbs:
- UL motor performances (3 SR)
- UL function (3 SR)
- UL impairment (1 SR)
Scales Influenced by Motor Imagery
- Fugl-Meyer assessment-Upper Limb (2 SR)
- Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) (3 SR)
- Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) (1 SR)
- Functional Reach Test (2 SR)
- Fugl-Meyer assessment-lower Limb (1 SR)
- Timed Up and Go (TUG) (2 SR)
- 10 Minutes walking Test (1 SR)
Assessing the ability for imagining movement
- Movement Imaginary Questionnaire-Revised
- MIQ-RS
- Time Dependent Motor Imagery test.
Treatment:
- Frequency: 3-5 sessions per week.
- Intensity: 9 to 41 Minutes per session, most recommended 20 minutes, it can be done inform of repetition/set.
- Time: 3.6 to 8 weeks.
-
Type:
- Graded Motor Imagery.
- Internal perspective: First Person Perspective.
- External perspective: Third Person Perspective.
Notes:
- Motor imagery is best when used as a adjuvant technique.
- There is a lack of ways that we can measure if patient is performing MI correctly.
