Brief Summary:
Stroke is a neurological impairment occurs due to cardiovascular abnormality and cerebrovascular disease The term stroke is mostly used when there is sudden loss of function of the body due any abrupt changesThe rates of disability are increasing along with mortality and morbidity rates due to stroke The poor motor performance of lower limb affects gait severely The slow velocity and other gait deviations limit the stroke survivors ability to perform ADLs and interfere with their quality of life
Hence rehabilitation is obligatory for these patients to improve their quality of life
Hence rehabilitation is obligatory for these patients to improve their quality of life
Detailed Description:
motor imagery is helpful in improving mobility in healthy and neurologically impaired patients When the patient is asked to do a movement for example the patient is asked to walk along a draw line and then that patient has to imagine this same action in kinesthetic imagery Neuroimaging shows that brain areas are more or less activated in the same manner It can be concluded that there is some relation between mental imagery ability and muscular actions In the stroke patients who have intact ability of mental imagery show activation of cortical areas demonstrating its ability to activate sub cortical areas also Therefore these results amplify the concept of using mental imagery for rehabilitation purpose of even deep lesion in motor nervous system
