- Original description
This study focuses on electromyographic analysis of upper limb muscle activation in stroke survivors during Motor Imagery (MI) and Action Observation (AO) rehabilitation techniques. By measuring muscle activity in the wrist and finger flexors and extensors, the research seeks to understand the impact of MI and AO on motor function recovery post-stroke. Conducted at the University of Salamanca, the study involves stroke survivors participating in a series of three experimental sessions. The analysis will correlate electromyographic responses with functional independence, limb functionality, and cognitive factors. The research aims to contribute to the fields of occupational therapy and physiotherapy, offering insights into effective rehabilitation methods for improving quality of life in stroke survivors.Read full original descriptionShow less
Upper Limb Electromyographic Response to Motor Imagery and Action Observation in Acquired Brain Injury Patients.
This study focuses on electromyographic analysis of upper limb muscle activation in stroke survivors during Motor Imagery (MI) and Action Observation (AO) rehabilitation techniques.

Inclusion: Being over 18 years of age; Diagnoses of established stroke; Present limitations or motor response deficiencies in the upper limb; Maintain cognitive functions with the ability to follow the instructions of the interventions and evaluations (MOCA>14).
Exclusion: Diagnosed with mental illness before the stroke; Other systemic conditions on the central nervous system; Any type of vascular and organic insufficiency; Liver disease or skin lesions in the area of application of the electrodes; Cardiorespiratory system pathologies in severe cases; Acute period, fever, muscle inflammation or myopathies.
