Abstract
Purpose: Imagery training could be an important treatment for muscle function improvements in patients with limitations in exercise training as a result of pain or other adverse symptoms. However, recent studies have been restricted primarily to small muscle groups, using a wide variety of methodological approaches, and have reported contradictory outcomes. Moreover, a possible bilateral transfer effect in imagery training has not been examined in larger muscle groups. We therefore investigated the effectiveness of unilateral imagery training in comparison with exercise training on hip abductor muscles strength and electromyogram (EMG) amplitude. Additionally, both limbs were assessed to investigate bilateral transfer effects.
