Intervention

Other:
• Motor Imagery
Motor imagery is the mental execution of a movement without any overt movement or without any peripheral (muscle) activation. It has been shown that motor imagery leads to the activation of the same brain areas as an actual movement. Therefore, it is used to acquire new motor skills. Action Observation (AO) involves the dynamic process of observing purposeful actions with the intention of imitating and then practicing those actions.

Diagnostic Test:
• Action Observation
Action Observation (AO) involves the dynamic process of observing purposeful actions with the intention of imitating and then practicing those actions.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Finger Tapping Task	The finger tapping task is a motor sequence learning task in which participants are asked to tap with their non-dominant hand a 5-digits sequence (for example 4-1-3-2-4 or 2-4-13-2), as rapidly and accurately as possible, using the numeric key-buttons of a computer keyboard or a response box.	5 minutes
Secondary	Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3	The Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 is the most recent version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire and the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised. It is a 12-item questionnaire to assess individual's ability to image four movements using: Internal visual imagery External visual imagery Kinesthetic imagery. A 7 point scale used to score each item and the higher score indicates higher ability to perform motor imagery.	15 minutes
