Motor imagery

This study tested whether motor imagery (mentally practicing correct landing form) could help volleyball players reduce landing errors that often lead to injury. Thirty players aged 15-25 from professional teams took part. They sat quietly for five minutes and imagined themselves…

Researchers are testing a home-based program called action observation and motor imagery (AOMI) training for adults with spinal cord injury. Participants watch exercise videos and imagine themselves doing the movements without actually moving. The trial aims to see if this traini…

This trial tests whether adding a structured mental rehearsal program to regular practice helps adolescent basketball players shoot more accurately, especially when they must also perform a thinking task at the same time. Thirty male players aged 15 to 17 will either follow their…

This study tested whether adding mental practice (imagining or watching movements) to standard exercise can improve pelvic floor strength and pain sensitivity in young women without symptoms. Forty-five women were split into three groups: one imagined movements, one watched movem…

This study tested a modified training program that combines watching movements, imagining movements, and doing exercises to help stroke survivors improve arm function. 46 people who had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months took part. The goal was to see if this approach could i…

This study investigates how brain activity changes when people imagine moving their wrist. Researchers will use advanced brain scans (MRI and MEG) to create personalized models of these signals, then test if they can decode imagined movements using simpler EEG recordings. The goa…

This study tested whether adding mental imagery or video observation to standard exercise could improve pelvic floor muscle strength and pain sensitivity in young women without symptoms. Forty-five participants were split into three groups: exercise plus motor imagery (imagining …

This study looked at whether imagining walking (normal walking or walking on a line) changes leg muscle activity and body movement in people who recently had a stroke. Forty stroke survivors with mild walking problems took part. The goal was to understand how mental practice migh…

This study looked at 52 female volleyball players and non-athletes to see how well they can imagine movements and mentally rotate hand images. Researchers measured reaction time and jump height to find links between mental skills and actual performance. The goal is to understand …
