Motor Imagery and Functional Performance in Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Motor Imagery Ability Assessment: Laterality Task (Choice Task): Implicit Motor Imagery capacity will be measured through a laterality task, which involves deciding which side a limb belongs to. Right-left discrimination of the foot will be assessed using the "Recognize Foot" application developed by the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute

Mental Stopwatch Paradigm: A mental stopwatch will be used to assess explicit MI capacity. This paradigm compares the time between the actual movement duration and the duration of a similar imagined task.

Functional Mobility: Functional Mobility: Functional Mobility will be assessed using the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) and the Timed Up and Go test.

Gait assessment:: Gait assessment: The Gillette FDA is a self- or observer-based assessment tool.

Study summary

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motor imagery capacity and functional mobility, walking and balance in children with diplegic type cerebral palsy.
