Influence of referent selection on balance in action observation: A randomized controlled trial
AO enhances balance and strength in healthy individuals, with referent characteristics significantly impacting outcomes. The findings suggest referent selection is a crucial factor in AO's efficacy, emphasizing AO's therapeutic potential, particularly for populations with mobility challenges. Further research should refine referent selection to optimize clinical results.
