Effectiveness of Motor Imagery in the Rehabilitation of People With Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background And Objective: With more research completed using Motor imagery (MI) in people with Parkinson's disease, this study gathered and synthesized evidence on the use of MI for Parkinson's disease in improving rehabilitation outcomes.

Methods: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Scopus were searched from inception to May 2023. We included randomized controlled trials that examine the effects of MI on individuals with Parkinson's disease.

The efficacy of imagery in the rehabilitation of people with Parkinson's disease: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. Individuals with PD commonly experience difficulty initiating movements, slowness of movements, decreased balance, and decreased standing ability. It has been shown that these motor symptoms adversely affect the independence of individuals with PD.
