Relationship between Corticospinal Excitability While Gazing at the Mirror and Motor Imagery Ability
Mirror therapy (MT) helps stroke survivors recover motor function. Previous studies have reported that an individual’s motor imagery ability is related to the areas of brain activity during motor imagery and the effectiveness of motor imagery training ...
