Abstract Background Motor imagery is a cognitive process that involves mentally simulating movements without physical execution. It has been studied in the context of foot pain to understand role motor cortical reorganization and its impact on abilities. However, further research needed establish consistent evidence regarding relationship between pain. Methods This review analyzed five relevant articles investigated The studies involved participants with various conditions, including leg amputation, chronic pain, complex regional syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy. Different methodologies were employed, mapping, laterality recognition tasks, EEG recordings, treatment interventions incorporating imagery. Results findings indicated individuals amputation exhibited functional upper limb maps, breakdown inhibitory hand representations. Participants demonstrated slower less accurate performance tasks compared healthy controls. Complex syndrome patients displayed distinct strategies responded differently first-person third-person perspectives. revealed differences brain activity during under pain-free conditions. Treatment showed promising outcomes improving reducing levels. Conclusions plays significant although still emerging. suggest abilities may be affected by syndrome. Further standardized protocols for assessing imagery, identify specific patient populations benefit most from interventions, explore long-term effects. Integrating into clinical practice potential enhance rehabilitation approaches improve management.

Background: Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIS) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by hip pain, reduced range of motion (ROM), and functional impairment, particularly in young physically active individuals. While surgery generally not performed individuals under 18 due to skeletal immaturity, it remains standard treatment option for adults presenting with persistent symptoms limitations. However, the overall effectiveness physiotherapy-based interventions unclear. This review aimed evaluate conservative rehabilitation strategies FAIS, assessing their impact on pain management, improvement, quality-of-life outcomes, rather than directly comparing them surgical interventions. Methods: scoping was conducted following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic literature search PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus, PEDro, Web Science. Studies were included if they examined outcomes such as reduction, muscle strength, quality life. Data extracted synthesized narratively. Results: Both intervention resulted significant improvements function, Exercise-based physiotherapy, programs incorporating core stability, progressive strengthening, neuromuscular training, demonstrated positive outcomes. Surgery provided faster relief, ROM improvements, earlier gains, activities requiring flexion. Given variability outcome measures, including life, interpretation results must consider differences protocols across studies. Conclusions: Conservative should be considered first-line (FAIS), provides life while mitigating risks associated surgery. stabilization, has clinical Although may offer symptom relief greater short-term long-term between management appear minimal selected patient populations. Structured physiotherapy prioritized before consideration, except cases where persist despite adequate rehabilitation. Future research aim establish standardized protocols, define optimal parameters, identify subgroups most likely benefit from management.

Background: Patients with stroke sequelae experience motor impairments that make it difficult to perform many activities of daily living, resulting in reduced social participation. Immersive virtual reality (VR) provides the necessary conditions for learning, such as repetitiveness, intensity, and task meaningfulness, could be a promising rehabilitation tool upper limb recovery individuals sequelae. Objective: The objectives this study are summarize current scientific evidence on use immersive VR patients subacute identify clinical instrumental criteria may inform development standardized treatment protocol. Materials Methods: Bibliographic research primary secondary studies was conducted using keywords “subacute stroke”, “immersive reality/head-mounted display (HMD)”, “upper extremity/arm/hand” following electronic databases: CINAHL, PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Web Science, Cochrane Library, PEDro, Google Scholar. Then, we performed selection assessment methodological quality PEDro scale. Finally, qualitative synthesis data extracted from selected carried out.
