Detailed Description
The decrease in the number of skeletal muscle and decline in muscle function is the most important factor in influencing the ability to perform physical function independently in the later stage of our life. The reduction of quadriceps strength with advancing age in both gender is proved to be associated with an increased risk of fractures, increased chance of worsening of knee pain, high risk of osteoarthritis. Quadriceps weakness is also proved to be a contributing factor to falls among frail nursing home residents.
Motor imagery had been widely utilized and proved to benefits different population. Motor imagery training makes a better motor performance as proved to be an effective tool in stroke rehabilitation, it is effective and useful when there are severely injured patients. This imagery training has turned into performance enrichment ways and simulation tools which has been widely utilized in sports psychological interventions as well.
Motor imagery can be defined as a dynamic mental state during which the representation of a given motor act or movement is rehearsed in working memory without any overt motor output. Motor imagery can also be defined as utilizing whole senses to reform or form an experience in one's thought. Motor imagery can be performed in different modes which can be classified into visual, tactile, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, and kinesthetic modes. There are lot of studies which have showed that motor imagery task does activate the cortical and subcortical regions of the brain and they overlap in a great extent with task required movement execution. The parts of the brain proved to participate in motor control consists of the premotor cortex (PMC), supplementary motor area (SMA), as well as the primary motor cortex (M1). All these brain areas are nearly related to the basal ganglia and cerebellum, as a result, large feedback loop systems are formed. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of motor imagery training on quadriceps strength among community-dwelling elderly. The second aim of our study is to compare the gender differences with regards to quadriceps muscle improvement after motor imagery training.

Experimental: Motor Imagery
The participants were instructed to imagine and visualize to straighten both knees with eyes closed.
You have to see and feel only what you would see and feel if you had to perform the action to straighten both of your knees in sitting position.
Imagine the movement using the most comfortable way for you, and make sure not to contract your muscles.
|
The number of imagined contractions were 34 trials, each trial was 10 seconds with 5seconds rest between each trial and 2 minutes' rest was given after first 17 trials.

Quadriceps Strength
Time Frame: Change from baseline Quadriceps strength at 4 weeks
|
The participants were in sitting position, hand-held dynamometer was place on the shin of the tibia just above medial and lateral malleolus.
Before measuring the quadriceps strength, participant's knees were held in 90-degree flexion and feet not in contact with the floor.
The participants were instructed to straighten leg by pushing against hand-held dynamometer.
Peak force generated by dynamometer was recorded.
The measurement was repeated three times to take an average of 3.
