Relative & Cumulative efficacy of Auditory & Visual Imagery on Upper Limb Functional Activity among Chronic Stroke Patients

Introduction: Stroke is a very limiting disease for the patient and a major health problem in most parts of the world. Activity limitations of the upper extremity are a common finding for individuals living with the effects of stroke, with its prevalence reported between 33% and 95% of this population. This study aims to explore whether imagery involves the activation of primary sensory cortices and to determine the therapeutic effectiveness and benefits of mental imagery training for arm function in chronic stroke patients.
