Mental Rotation and Motor Imagery Training in Multiple Sclerosis
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Relapsing Remitting MS (RRMS)
In brief
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.
