Abstract

Aim: This study aims to examine the effect of motor imagery (MI) training on MI abilities, functional mobility, and lower extremity muscle activity in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP).

Method: 34 UCP and 17 typically developing participants were included. UCP was randomised into 2 groups as UCP MI and UCP control. Participants typically developing were included for baseline comparisons. UCP MI group received 8 weeks of physiotherapy and MI training, the UCP control group 8 weeks of physiotherapy training. The MI abilities, functional mobility, and lower extremity muscle activation were assessed in all groups.

Results: It was found that MI training made a significant difference in favour of the UCP MI group in terms of Movement Imagery Questionnaire-For Children (MIQ-C), mental chronometry, functional mobility, and resting muscle activation (p < 0.05). There was no such significant change in the UCP control group.

Conclusion: This current approach in UCP is a feasible method, beneficial to include it in the rehabilitation process.

运动想象训练对单侧脑瘫患者运动想象能力、功能活动和肌肉活动的影响。

目的:本研究旨在探讨运动想象(MI)训练对单侧脑瘫(UCP)患儿MI能力、功能机动性和下肢肌肉活动的影响。方法:纳入34例UCP和17例发育正常的受试者。将UCP随机分为2组，分别为UCP MI组和UCP对照组。正常发育的参与者被纳入基线比较。UCP组患者接受8周物理治疗和MI训练，UCP对照组患者接受8周物理治疗训练。评估所有组的心肌梗死能力、功能活动性和下肢肌肉激活。结果:研究发现，MI训练在儿童运动意象问卷(MIQ-C)、心理计时器、功能活动性和静息肌肉激活方面对UCP MI组有显著影响(p)。结论:目前这种方法在UCP中是一种可行的方法，有利于将其纳入康复过程。

期刊介绍： Somatosensory & Motor Research publishes original, high-quality papers that encompass the entire range of investigations related to the neural bases for somatic sensation, somatic motor function, somatic motor integration, and modeling thereof. Comprising anatomical, physiological, biochemical, pharmacological, behavioural, and psychophysical studies, Somatosensory & Motor Research covers all facets of the peripheral and central processes underlying cutaneous sensation, and includes studies relating to afferent and efferent mechanisms of deep structures (e.g., viscera, muscle). Studies of motor systems at all levels of the neuraxis are covered, but reports restricted to non-neural aspects of muscle generally would belong in other journals.
