Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Fine Motor Skill evaluated with Bateria Psicomotora (BPM)

    16 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Motor Imagery + Psychomotor Battery of fine motor skills

EXPERIMENTAL

Application of Motor Imagery together with normal practice improves fine motor skills in disabled individuals.

Behavioral: Motor Imagery + Psychomotor Battery of fine motor skillsBehavioral: Psychomotor Battery of fine motor skills Practice

Interventions

Motor Imagery + Psychomotor Battery of fine motor skillsBEHAVIORAL

Subjects were randomly divided in two groups: a control group and an experimental one. The study procedures were applied on five different tasks of the Psychomotor Battery of fine motor skills (BPM). This instrument was applied in two stages, at the beginning of the study (pretest) and at the end of the 4 weeks (posttest). Both groups performed the tasks twice a week for a month. Motor imagery sessions were added on in the experimental group. Participants on the experimental group were asked to mentally imagine themselves recreating tasks they had performed earlier on the initial assessment.
