Objective: To investigate the effect of mental imagery (MI) therapy based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) on upper limbs motor function following stroke and to explore its mechanism. Methods: A total of 28 patients were assigned to a control group and a treatment group randomly. Both two groups received conventional rehabilitation. In addition, treatment group received MI therapy in which imaginary content was screened by fNIRS. Control group received MI therapy in which imaginary content was flexible. The FMA-UE, ARAT and MBI were used to evaluate the upper limbs function and the activities of daily living before and after the treatment. Results: FMA-UE scores, ARAT scores and MBI scores before treatment in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.01). FMA-UE scores, ARAT scores and MBI scores in the treatment group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Imagery therapy based on fNIRS were feasible to improve the upper limbs motor function and daily life activity in stroke patients, which may be related to the activation in supplementary motor area. |
