@entity191 ( @entity191 ) is characterized by a progressive @entity1957 with deterioration of autonomy in daily living activities. Physiotherapy is regarded as an adjuvant to pharmacological and neurosurgical treatment and may provide small and short-lasting clinical benefits in @entity191 @entity1 . However, the development of innovative rehabilitation approaches with greater long-term efficacy is a major unmet need. @entity1957 ( @entity1957 ) and @entity2045 ( @entity2045 ) have been recently proposed as a promising rehabilitation tool. @entity1957 is the ability to imagine a movement without actual performance (or muscle activation). The same cortical-subcortical network active during motor execution is engaged in @entity1957 . The physiological basis of @entity2045 is represented by the activation of the "mirror neuron system." Both @entity1957 and @entity2045 are involved in motor learning and can induce improvements of motor performance, possibly mediated by the development of plastic changes in the motor cortex. The review of available evidences indicated that @entity1957 ability and @entity2045 feasibility are substantially preserved in @entity191 subjects. A few preliminary studies suggested the possibility of using @entity1957 and @entity2045 as parts of rehabilitation protocols for @entity191 @entity1 .
