Multidimensional analysis of brain activation patterns in different motor therapies using functional near-infrared spectroscopy
These findings reveal therapy-specific neural mechanisms: MI broadly engages motor execution and cognitive control networks through mental simulation, AM predominantly activates motor execution networks with DLPFC dominance, and PM recruits sensory-attentional networks via external facilitation. The multidimensional neuroimaging evidence provides a foundation for personalized rehabilitation protocols.
