Interventions
Motor Imagery Ability Assessment
Laterality Task (Choice Task): Implicit Motor Imagery capacity will be measured through a laterality task, which involves deciding which side a limb belongs to. Right-left discrimination of the foot will be assessed using the "Recognize Foot" application developed by the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute
Mental Stopwatch Paradigm
A mental stopwatch will be used to assess explicit MI capacity. This paradigm compares the time between the actual movement duration and the duration of a similar imagined task.
Functional Mobility
Functional Mobility: Functional Mobility will be assessed using the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) and the Timed Up and Go test.
Gait assessment:
Gait assessment: The Gillette FDA is a self- or observer-based assessment tool.
