EMG Analysis in ABI: Motor Imagery and Action
Upper Limb Electromyographic Response to Motor Imagery and Action Observation in Acquired Brain Injury Patients.
University of Salamanca
28 participants
Jan 1, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.

Exclusion Criteria6
- Diagnosed with mental illness before the stroke
- Other systemic conditions on the central nervous system
- Cardiorespiratory system pathologies in severe cases
- Acute period, fever, muscle inflammation or myopathies

Interventions
mental process where an individual visualizes or imagines themselves performing a movement without actually executing it physically. This cognitive process involves the mental rehearsal of motor actions, engaging similar neural pathways that are used when physically performing the action.
rehabilitation technique based on the principle of observing actions to improve motor function and learning. This approach is rooted in the concept of the mirror neuron system, a group of neurons that are activated both when a person performs an action and when they observe the same action performed by others.
Recording with images of landscapes without the presence of any person or animal that could evoke MI or OA.
