Summary

This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of sequential laterality, motor imagery, and mental rotation training in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Both groups received conventional physiotherapy, while the intervention group received structured cognitive-motor training and the control group received active visual-attention training.

Conditions

  • Relapsing Remitting MS (RRMS)

Interventions

OTHER

Laterality, Motor Imagery, and Mental Rotation Training

Participants received 30 minutes of conventional physiotherapy followed by 15 minutes of structured training, three times per week for six weeks. The training progressed sequentially through laterality recognition, motor imagery, and mental rotation. Laterality training involved identifying right- and left-hand images. Motor imagery training involved imagining the hand positions and movements shown in the images without performing an observable movement. Mental rotation training involved mentally rotating figures and selecting the correct response.

OTHER

Active Visual-Attention Control Training

Participants received 30 minutes of conventional physiotherapy followed by 15 minutes of active visual-attention control training, three times per week for six weeks. The training included images of neutral objects, colors, geometric shapes, and symbols that did not depict body parts. Participants classified the images according to color, shape, size, position, or similarity and difference.
