背景。运动意象作为一种有前途的神经系统疾病患者康复新方法，近年来引起了人们的关注。然而，到目前为止，这种实践方法是否也能成功地应用于帕金森病（PD）患者的康复尚不清楚。目标。本研究旨在探讨PD患者在基底神经节功能障碍的情况下，运动成像能力是否仍然完整。方法。对14例早期和中期PD患者（Hoehn和Yahr 1-3）和14名健康对照者进行广泛的图像能力评估，包括2份问卷、混沌运动图像评估和基于心理计时法的测试。结果。PD患者执行图像任务的速度比对照组慢，但大多数患者的运动图像的生动性和准确性得到了很好的保留。结论。这些结果对于运动想象练习在PD患者康复中的潜在应用是有希望的。
Background. Motor imagery has recently gained attention as a promising new rehabilitation method for patients with neurological disorders. Up to now, however, it has been unclear whether this practice method can also be successfully applied in the rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Objective. This study aimed to investigate whether the motor imagery ability of patients with PD is still intact despite basal ganglia dysfunctioning. Methods. A total of 14 patients with early- and mid-stage PD (Hoehn and Yahr 1-3) and 14 healthy controls were evaluated by means of an extensive imagery ability assessment battery, consisting of 2 questionnaires, the Chaotic Motor Imagery Assessment battery, and a test based on mental chronometry. Results. PD patients performed the imagery tasks more slowly than controls, but the motor imagery vividness and accuracy of most patients were well preserved. Conclusions. These results are promising regarding the potential use of motor imagery practice in the rehabilitation of patients with PD.
