Kinesthetic motor-imagery training improves performance on lexical-semantic access. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2022 The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Motor Imagery (MI) training on language comprehension. In line with literature suggesting an intimate relationship between the language and the motor system, we proposed that a MI-training could improve language comprehension by facilitating lexico-semantic access.

A Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Questionnaire [PDF]
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2018 Motor imagery has emerged as a potential rehabilitation tool in stroke. The goals of this study were: 1) to develop a translated and culturally-adapted Brazilian-Portugese version of the Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ20-P); 2 ...

Motor experience with a sport-specific implement affects motor imagery [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The present study tested whether sport-specific implements facilitate motor imagery, whereas nonspecific implements disrupt motor imagery. We asked a group of basketball players (experts) and a group of healthy controls (novices) to physically perform ...

Kinesthetic and visual imagery in young adults with chronic neck pain [PDF]
Sanamed, 2022 Background: Young adults complain of neck pain almost every year. In recent years the ability of motor imagery (kinesthetic and visual imagery) in many musculoskeletal system problems other than neck pain in young adults has been investigated in the ...

Enhanced lower-limb motor imagery by kinesthetic illusion
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on lower-limb motor imagery (LMI) enables hemiplegic patients to stand and walk independently. However, LMI ability is usually poor for BCI-illiterate (e.g., some stroke patients), limiting BCI performance. This study

The effects of kinesthetic and visual motor imagery on interjoint coordination in the hemiplegic index finger: an experimental study using the index of temporal coordination [PDF]
Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional, 2021 Upper limb hemiparesis is a common impairment following stroke and can affect interjoint coordination. Motor imagery training is one treatment strategy. However, motor imagery can use visual or kinesthetic modalities and there has been a lack of research

Handedness effects on motor imagery during kinesthetic and visual-motor conditions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Recent studies show that during a simple movement imagery task, the power of sensorimotor rhythms differs according to handedness. However, the effects of motor imagery perspectives on these differences have not been investigated yet.

EEG changes during sequences of visual and kinesthetic motor imagery [PDF]
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2010 The evoked cerebral electric response when sequences of complex motor imagery (MI) task are executed several times is still unclear. This work aims at investigating the existence of habituation in the cortical response, more specifically in the alpha band peak of parietal and occipital areas (10-20 international system electroencephalogram, EEG ...

Neural Kinesthetic Contribution to Motor Imagery of Body Parts: Tongue, Hands, and Feet [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Motor imagery (MI) is assimilated to a perception-action process, which is mentally represented. Although several models suggest that MI, and its equivalent motor execution, engage very similar brain areas, the mechanisms underlying MI and their ...

Kinesthetic imagery of musical performance [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Musicians use different kinds of imagery. This review focuses on kinesthetic imagery, which has been shown to be an effective complement to actively playing an instrument. However, experience in actual movement performance seems to be a requirement for a
