Effects of motor imagery and action observation combined with standard rehabilitation on walking distance in people with multiple sclerosis: A single-blind exploratory randomized controlled trial

Key Points

• Evaluate the combined effects of motor imagery and action observation with standard rehabilitation on walking distance in people with multiple sclerosis.
• Single-blind randomized controlled trial design
• Participants underwent standard rehabilitation with added motor imagery and action observation
• Walking distance and fatigue levels were measured pre- and post-intervention
• Combination of motor imagery and action observation improved walking distance
• Fatigue reduction was noted in participants
• No significant impact on trunk control observed
• No superiority between the MI and AO approaches was found
