Research Abstract

Motor imagery practice is useful for the acquisition of motor skills. Holding an object in an appropriate way during motor imagery improved the quality of the imagery.Therefore, motor imagery practice with sensory input can be useful not only in sports, but also for improving performance in patient rehabilitation programs.
