Background Stroke is caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain (ischemic stroke)
or the rupture of blood vessels within the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) and may lead to …

Introduction. Motor imagery and mental practice can be defined as a continuous mechanism
in which the subject tries to emulate a movement using cognitive processes, without actually …

Background Motor imagery training (MIT) has been widely used to improve hemiplegic
upper limb function in stroke rehabilitation. The effectiveness of MIT is associated with the …

Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) have been demonstrated to have the potential to enhance
motor recovery after stroke. However, some stroke patients with severe paralysis have …

Introduction For people who have had a stroke, recovering upper-limb function is a barrier to
independence. When movement is difficult, mental practice can be used to complement …

Background Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability
worldwide. Motor imagery is a technique that can be utilized in the rehabilitation process to …

Rehabilitation is essential for post-stroke body function recovery. Supported by the mirror
neuron theory, motor imagery (MI) has been proposed as a potential stroke therapy capable …

Motor impairment due to stroke limits patients' mobility, activities of daily living, and
negatively affects their return to the workplace. It also reduces patients' quality of life and …

Objective. Exploring the temporal variability in spatial topology during the resting state
attracts growing interest and becomes increasingly useful to tackle the cognitive process of …

Background. Reorganization in motor areas have been suggested after motor imagery
training (MIT). However, motor imagery involves a large-scale brain network, in which many …
