Mental Rotation and Motor Imagery Training for Upper-Extremity Function in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of sequential laterality, motor imagery, and mental rotation training in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Both groups received conventional physiotherapy, while the intervention group received structured cognitive-motor training and the control group received active visual-attention training.

详细说明
Fifty-four participants were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group.
Both groups received 45-minute sessions three times per week for six weeks.
Mental rotation ability was the primary outcome, while upper-extremity function, manual ability, motor imagery, grip strength, dexterity, and information-processing speed were assessed as secondary outcomes.
Assessments were performed before and after the intervention by a researcher blinded to group allocation.

实验性的:Multicomponent rotation training
Participants received 30 minutes of conventional physiotherapy and 15 minutes of sequential laterality, motor imagery, and mental rotation training, three times per week for six weeks.
|
Participants received 30 minutes of conventional physiotherapy followed by 15 minutes of structured training, three times per week for six weeks.
The training progressed sequentially through laterality recognition, motor imagery, and mental rotation.
Laterality training involved identifying right- and left-hand images.
Motor imagery training involved imagining the hand positions and movements shown in the images without performing an observable movement.
Mental rotation training involved mentally rotating figures and selecting the correct response.

假比较器:Sham training
Participants received 30 minutes of conventional physiotherapy and 15 minutes of active visual-attention training using neutral objects, colors, shapes, and symbols, three times per week for six weeks.

Participants received 30 minutes of conventional physiotherapy followed by 15 minutes of active visual-attention control training, three times per week for six weeks.
The training included images of neutral objects, colors, geometric shapes, and symbols that did not depict body parts.
Participants classified the images according to color, shape, size, position, or similarity and difference.

Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire
大体时间:Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
|
Motor imagery ability was evaluated and scored using 20 items examining movements of different body parts in a sitting position, with two subscales assessing kinesthetic and visual imagery abilities.
The total score ranges from 10 to 50, with each subscale ranging from 5 to 25.
