Kinesthetic motor imagery modulates body sway

Neuroscience, 2010
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of imagining an action implicating the body axis in the kinesthetic and visual motor imagery modalities upon the balance control system. Body sway analysis (measurement of center of pressure, CoP) together with electromyography (EMG) recording and verbal evaluation of imagery abilities were obtained ...

Linking Visual and Kinesthetic Imagery in Lipreading Instruction

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1995
The purpose of this study was to replicate van Uden’s (1983) finding that watching oneself speak improves lipreading of visually confusable nonsense words. Specifically, this replication focused on an older group of subjects whose educational experience varied widely in the emphasis given to spoken communication.

Kinesthetic imagery of gait in advanced Parkinson’s disease

Movement & Sport Sciences - Science & Motricité, 2013
Imagerie kinesthesique de la marche chez des patients parkinsoniensDe nombreux travaux associent l’imagerie motrice aux techniques d’imagerie cerebrale pour explorer les bases neurales du mouvement. Cependant, l’engagement reel des participants dans la tâche d’interet, ainsi que la modalite de representation mentale utilisee, ne sont pas ...

Postural Control During Visual and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery

Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, 2011
Despite the accumulating evidence supporting an interaction between cognitive functions and postural control, little is known about the selective impact of the mental representation of an action, i.e., motor imagery (MI) on postural control. As postural oscillations are reduced during a cognitive task of backward silent counting, a greater stability is

Kinesthetic, but not visual, motor imagery modulates corticomotor excitability

Experimental Brain Research, 2005
The hypothesis that motor imagery and actual movement involve overlapping neural structures in the central nervous system is supported by multiple lines of evidence. The aim of this study was to examine the modulation of corticomotor excitability during two types of strategies for motor imagery: Kinesthetic Motor Imagery (KMI) and Visual Motor Imagery (

Motor and Kinesthetic Imagery

2012
This chapter aims to provide an overview of the functional, ­physiological, and neural characteristics of motor imagery. The literature reviewed shows that motor imagery shares many characteristics with motor executions, both at a behavioral and a physiological level.

EEG Topographic Mapping of Visual and Kinesthetic Imagery in Swimmers

Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, 2015
This study investigated differences in QEEG measures between kinesthetic and visual imagery of a 100-m swim in 36 elite competitive swimmers. Background information and post-trial checks controlled for the modality of imagery, swimming skill level, preferred imagery style, intensity of image and task equality.

Brief Visual Deprivation Effects on Brain Oscillations During Kinesthetic and Visual-motor Imagery

Neuroscience, 2023
It is widely recognized that opening and closing the eyes can direct attention to external or internal stimuli processing. This has been confirmed by studies showing the effects of changes in visual stimulation changes on cerebral activity during different tasks, e.g., motor imagery and execution.

Differentiating visual and kinesthetic imagery in mental practice.

Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale, 2003
Through two experiments, the study sought to emphasize the usefulness of the visual and kinesthetic imagery in mental practice. In Experiment 1, it was hypothesized that when the task to be learned through mental practice necessitates the reproduction of a form by drawing, the visual image, which provides a wide span of apprehension, is more suitable ...

Functional but Inefficient Kinesthetic Motor Imagery in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Whether action representation in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is deficient remains controversial, as previous studies of action observation or imitation report conflicting results. Here we investigated the characteristics of action representation in adolescents with ASD through motor imagery (MI) using a hand rotation and an object ...
