The effects of body position and actual execution on motor imagery of locomotor tasks in people with a lower-limb amputation

Abstract Motor imagery (MI) is usually facilitated when performed in a congruent body position to the imagined movement, as well as after actual execution (AE). A lower-limb amputation (LLA) results in important structural and functional changes in the sensorimotor system, which can alter MI. In thi...
