The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mental practice to improve on gait and quality of life in stroke patients. Participants were randomly allocated to two groups: experimental(n=10) and control (n=10). Both groups received neural development treatment training for 6 sessions 1 hour per week during 6 weeks. Experimental group practiced additional mental practice for 3 session 10 minutes per week 6 weeks. Results were evaluated by spatial-temporal parameter, 10m walk test, and quality of life. There were significantly increased by mental practice in outcomes of the gait performance from the gait velocity, cadence, double support, single support, 10m walk test. There were significantly increased by mental practice in outcomes of stroke impact scale from the strength, social participants, and stroke recovery. In conclusion, the mental practice improves gait performance and quality of life in stroke patients. The results suggest that mental practice training is feasible and suitable to stroke patients.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of imagery training on upper limb function and activities of daily living in subacute stroke patients. This study included 16 voluntary participants with subacute stroke. Subjects were randomly assigned to either experimental or control group, with 8 in each group. Imagery training group performed imagery training during 30 minutes and then task-oriented training 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Control group performed task-oriented training during 30 minutes during a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Assessments were made using the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment (FMA) to evaluate the changes of upper function. And modified Barthel Index (MBI) was measured to evaluate the activities of daily living. The results showed that imagery training group was more significant increase than control group in WMFT, FMA, and MBI (p<.05). Small to huge effect sizes of 1.59, 2.02, 0.37 were observed for WMFT, FMA, and MBI, respectively. This study indicated that imagery training may be helpful in improving the upper limb function and activities of daily living for subacute stroke patients, and support the clinical feasibility of the imagery training.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Client-centered mental practice on activities of daily living and quality of life with stroke. For 16 persons with stroke, we executed Client-centered mental practice for 4 weeks, five times per week, and 30 minutes each time. Before and after the Client-centered mental practice, the patients were tested with Functional Independence Measure(FIM) and Stroke specific quality of life(SS-QOL). After the Client-centered mental practice, the subjects showed significant changes in the score of FIM and SS-QOL(p<0.05). The results of this study show that Client-centered mental practice for persons with stroke is a useful therapeutic approach by enhancing through improving their activities of daily living and quality of life.

This study is aimed at identifying the effect the task-oriented imagination training of chronic stroke patients have on the function of upper limb and their daily activities(: ADL). The research subjects were composed of 30 chronic stroke patients with over three months of ailment history, with each group composed of 15 patients assigned to the experiment group and the control group, respectively. The experiment group was subjected to the task-oriented training and the imagination training at the same time, while the control group was subjected to the task-oriented training only. All Interventions were performed for 5 times per week over the period of 8 weeks and 30 minutes per session. In order to monitor the changes as a result of the Intervention program, the MFT and OPTIMAL were employed for the upper limb function while the MBI was employed for the ADL to measure the values before and after the Intervention, respectively, with the results shown below. As a result, MFT, OPTIMAL and MBI showed significant difference between before and after in group. And Mental practice group showed more improvement.

뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스(Brain-Computer Interface: BCI) 기술의 중요성 및 활용도가 증대됨으로써 EEG(electroencephalogram: EEG)기반의 사용자 인터페이스에 대한 개발 및 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 뇌파 발생 훈련이 되어 있지 않은 사용자는 EEG 기반의 사용자 인터페이스를 사용하기가 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 향후 뇌파 훈련을 위한 시뮬레이터를 개발하고자, 그 전단계로 사용자에게서 공통적으로 정확도가 높게 측정되는 채널 및 특징점을 비교, 분석 하였다. 피험자 3명의 왼손 동작 상상과 오른손 동작 상상으로 발생된 EEG 생체신호로부터 ERD/ERS를 확인하고, 8개의 특징점을 추출하여 SVM 분류 알고리즘을 기반으로 정확도를 측정하였으며, ${\mu}$대역 채널 AF4, F4에서의 특징 MAV에서 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a difference in the brain connectivity in mental practice and physical performance of training bilateral upper extremity function. Method: The subject performed activities involving mental tasks and physical exercise for bilateral upper extremity functioning during each phase of EEG measurements. The subject performed a symmetrical task(lifting a box and placing it back) that involved moving both arms at the same time and an asymmetrical task(opening and closing a bottle cap) in order to perform functional tasks. EEG electrodes were attached to Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4, T3, T4, P3, and P4. Data analysis was performed using Cross-Line Mapping for correlational analyses between EEG electrode pairs. Conclusion: This study found that the brain connectivity patterns of symmetrical and asymmetric upper extremity tasks have similar patterns for the motor and sensory area, and that the correlation of the physical practice is generally higher than that of the mental practice.

Stanislavsky's acting system is based on the sensory memory of an incident that an actor has actually experienced, but Michael Chekhov insisted that in relation to the acting technique of actors, they should find the virtual and unreal external stimuli caused by emotion and imagination irrespective of their personal experience. As such, Stanislavsky's acting system and Michael Chekhov's acting technique are very different in terms of the acting method used. In actual acting, however, the acting system and the acting technique should have a close relationship. Any acting performed by an actor cannot be totally psychological or physical because the body and the mind cannot be separated. It is for this reason that all kinds of training should be both psychological and physical training and should not be conducted only mechanically. Acting is the ability of actors to imagine the virtual or fictitious reality and to express their indignation ability onstage. As actors stimulate and train their own fantasy and imagination, they can greatly improve their ability to embody or express the inner world of the characters they are portraying in a play.

Purpose : This study aimed to compare the effect of two conditions (visual and kinesthetic) of motor imagery training on static and dynamic balance. Methods : Fifteen patients with post-stroke hemiparesis volunteered to participate in this study. Two motor imagery training conditions, for 10minute trials, employed with audiotape instructions. Measurements were performed at pretest, posttest and 1-hour follow up in both static and dynamic balance. Results : Measures were significantly different both static and dynamic balance tests between treatment conditions (kinesthetic imagery more than visual imagery) at the pretest, post test, and 1-hour follow-up (p<.05). Measures of both static and dynamic balance tests, for both conditions, improved significantly from pretest to posttest (p<.05), and was maintained at 1-hour follow up. Conclusion : This study showed that both imagery training applications were effective treatment strategies for both static and dynamic balance. When comparing the two treatment conditions, kinesthetic motor imagery training was more effective than the visual motor imagery training in static and dynamic balance.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of brain activity during action observation training and image training throughout EEG. Methods This study was participated 1 healthy college student without mental illness or cognitive impairment. The subject was randomly selected from university students and was interested in participating in the experiment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the visual and auditory stimuli (action observation) and brain image training. Results The results of our study, EEG value measured o.1 during resting. But brain activity changed to 0.3 during action observation. Finally, it changed to .05 after brain image training.
