Action Observation and Motor Imagery Therapy in Stroke
Effect of Action Observation and Motor Imagery Therapy on Balance, Functional Status and Quality of Life in Stroke, Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
In recent years, motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) therapy strategies have been used in rehabilitation programs to increase motor learning in stroke. Visuomotor training strategies such as AO and MI therapy rely on the activity of the mirror neuron system to facilitate motor re-learning. Mirror neurons are activated during the performance of goal-directed actions, also when observing the same action and visualizing the action in the mind. This clinical trial aims to test whether the application of AO and MI treatment in stroke in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs has an additional effect on motor recovery, activities of daily living, and quality of life.
