The purpose of this appraisal is to offer guidance to clinicians on
applying motor imagery in neurorehabilitation and provide guidance to support
this process. METHOD: We used evidence from a variety of fields as well as
clinical experience with motor imagery to develop guidance for employing motor
imagery during neurorehabilitation. RESULTS: Motor imagery is a relatively new
intervention for neurorehabilitation supported by evidence from areas such as
cognitive neuroscience and sports psychology. Motor imagery has become a very
popular intervention modality for clinicians but there is insufficient
information available on how to administer it in clinical practice and make
deliberate decisions during its application. CONCLUSIONS: We provide
evidence-based guidance for employing motor imagery in neurorehabilitation and
use the principles of motor learning as the framework for clinical application.
