Summary

Motor imagery is defined as a dynamic mental process of an action, without its real motor execution. Action observation evokes an internal, real-time motor simulation of the movements that the observer is perceiving visually. Both MI and AO have been shown to produce a neurophysiological activation of the brain areas related to the planning and execution of voluntary movement in a similar manner how the real action.

Conditions

  • Motor Activity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

motor imagery

All subjects had to imagine that he/she was performing each exercise during 1 set of 12 repetitions prior to the real execution of this. During the second phase (the second and third week), subjects had to complete the set both imagining, with visual mental motor imagery, and actively performing the exercises.

BEHAVIORAL

Action observation

A video was shown in third-person perspective. All subjects watched one person performing each exercise during 1 set of 12 repetitions. During the second phase (the second and third week), subjects had to perform actively the exercises while they watched the video.

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Control Exercises

The subjects were asked to perform 3 sets, of 10-12 repetitions each six exercise, with a total duration of approximately 30-35 minutes. The exercises program had to do it once a day, 6 days a week, for 3 weeks.
