Clinical Study

Slowing of Motor Imagery after a Right Hemispheric Stroke

Figure 1

(a) Mean duration (1SD) of stepping movements during physical execution and mental simulation conditions (left panel) and imagination/execution time ratio of dominant and nondominant sides in age-matched healthy individuals. Similar duration during both conditions (temporal equivalence) yielding I/E time ratio near 1. (b) Similar illustration as in (a) for the stroke group. Longer stepping movement times during the imagination compared to the execution condition in individuals with stroke (total group); I/E time ratios above 1 indicating a lack of temporal congruence. Dotted lines indicate temporal congruence of 1 to 1.
