Abstract:
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterised by impairments to motor control and learning, the cause of which remains unclear. Recently, researchers have used cognitive neuroscientific approaches to explore the basis of poor coordination in children, with one hypothesis suggesting that an internal modelling deficit (IMD) is one of the underlying causes of DCD. The aim of this thesis was to further test the IMD hypothesis using a motor imagery paradigm - the mental rotation of hands. Versions of this task were used in all studies to assess motor imagery ability, with an additio

Background: Motor imagery (MI) has been shown to be beneficial if added to physical practice.

Methods and results: Two systematic reviews were conducted: firstly, to evaluate evidence of MI interventions.

Abstract:
An ongoing subject of research in the field of human motor control is the extent of similarities in neural activity underlying overt movement execution compared with imagination and observation of movement. Previous work in this area has focused mainly on the 'active' phase of movement (i.e. the period during which movements are actually executed, imagined or observed). Activation of motor cortical areas has been demonstrated during the active phase of motor imagery and observation suggesting that these alternative modes of movement share underlying neural mechanisms with overt motor execution

Abstract:
A imobilização de membros e/ou articulações é prática utilizada na clínica no tratamento de diversas patologias, podendo variar em sua extensão e duração. Acometimentos ortopédicos comuns, como fraturas e lesões músculo-tendíneas, podem exigir como tratamento de dias a semanas de imobilização do segmento afetado. Além dos efeitos clínicos almejados, a imobilização desencadeia alterações negativas que afetam localmente o sistema musculoesquelético, mas que também trazem consequências para o sistema nervoso central (SNC) e sistema nervoso periférico. Tais consequências negativas implicam em perd

Abstract:
Dans la littérature, de nombreuses recherches dans le domaine du contrôle moteur, des sciences du sport ou encore de la rééducation se sont intéressées à l’apprentissage moteur consécutif à un entrainement mental. Cependant, plusieurs mécanismes, qu’ils soient comportementaux ou neurophysiologiques, demeurent encore aujourd’hui peu étudiés. Dans notre première étude, nous avons montré qu’il était impossible de prédire la future amélioration de la performance suite à un entrainement mental aigu, sur une tâche de vitesse-précision, par la simple évaluation subjective des capacités d’imagerie che

Abstract:
Dissertação para a obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Engenharia Biomédica<br>Human behaviour is grounded in our ability to perform complex tasks. While human motor function has been studied for over a century the cortical processes underlying motor behaviour are still under debate. Central to the execution of action is the primary motor cortex (M1), which has previously been considered to be responsible for the execution of movements planned in the premotor cortex, yet recent studies point to more complex roles for M1 in orchestrating motor-related information. The purpose of this project is to s

Abstract:
Motor imagery (MI) is a cognitive simulation technique with increasing importance in psychology, sport psychology and applied therapeutic domains (Dickstein & Deutsch, 2007; Guillot & Collet, 2008; Moran, Guillot, MacIntyre, & Collet, 2012). MI can be described as executing specific actions/tasks mentally, without any bodily movement, by adopting different sensory modalities (e.g. Collet & Guillot, 2010; Cumming & Ramsey, 2008; Jackson, Lafleur, Malouin, Richards, & Doyon, 2001). In the last two decades, a considerable amount of work has been performed to introduce MI as an effective rehabilit

Background: Recent work on mental practice using motor imagery (MI) in the treatment of post-stroke motor impairments. Aim: To provide evidence regarding effects of MI on hemiplegic intrinsic hand muscles. Objectives: Experiment one's objective was to identify if kinaesthetic MI (KMI) activated the hemiplegic lumbrical muscles and reduced overall movement time (MT). Experiment two's objective was to identify if KMI and visual motor imagery (VMI) had different effects on lumbrical activity and MT. Experiment three's objective was to establish if VMI or KMI provoked electromyogram (EMG) activity
