Summary
This study tested whether adding mental imagery (imagining movements) to standard task-oriented training helps stroke patients who are afraid of moving. 44 stroke survivors with high fear of movement took part. The experimental group did 20 minutes of mental imagery followed by 25 minutes of task training, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. The goal was to reduce kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and improve balance and walking.
