No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The specific study aims will be:

1. To investigate the short- and long-term treatment effects of action observation, imagery, and execution therapy (AOIE) compared with an action observation therapy (AO) group and a control treatment group as controls on different aspects of outcomes in patients with stroke.
2. To examine the neural mechanisms and changes in cortical neural activity after the interventions in stroke patients.
3. To examine the correlations between AOIE-induced brain activation changes and the clinical efficacy of AOIE.
4. To identify who are the possible good responders to the therapy based on baseline motor function and motor imagery ability of the participants.
