Effectiveness of Motor Imagery on Motor Recovery in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: Systematic Review.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
January 2021
Article Synopsis
- Motor imagery (MI) has been shown to positively impact the functional recovery of patients with neurological issues, including stroke, and this study specifically examines its effects on patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS).
- A thorough literature search identified five studies that were examined for quality and bias, highlighting that MI can significantly improve walking speed, distance, fatigue levels, and quality of life in pwMS.
- While the evidence remains limited, utilizing MI techniques, particularly with musical and verbal guidance, may enhance gait, reduce fatigue, and improve QOL, especially for pwMS with lower disability scores.
