An interventional study of Motor imagery training and NO motor imagery training in Healthy, sponsored by Ahmed Mahmoud Kadry. Completed at 2 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-12.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of different durations of Motor Imagery (MI) practice and physical practice on motor performance enhancement in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants:
Compared the control group, low dose MI group, and high dose MI group to see if there are significant differences in motor performance enhancement, aiming to determine the effectiveness of MI and the optimal dose for practice.
This is the only study on the registry with Ahmed Mahmoud Kadry as lead sponsor.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Physically performed the task once per session. No MI. The physical task is a mirror tracing game that requires participants to trace a star shape viewed through a mirror, going as fast as possible while staying within the lines.
Other: NO motor imagery training
In addition to physically performing the motor task once in session 1, then they performed MI for 6 minutes (2 min x 3 sets) per session. MI for this study took the form of non-guided first-person mental practice. First-person imagery was explained to each participant where they imagined performing the target skill through their own eyes rather than if they were a bystander watching someone else do the task (third person).
Other: Motor imagery training
In addition to physically performing the motor task once in session 1, then MI for 12 minutes (2 min x 6 sets) per session. The MI technique was the same as the LD group.
Other: Motor imagery training
MI for this study took the form of non-guided first-person mental practice. First-person imagery was explained to each participant where they imagined performing the target skill through their own eyes rather than if they were a bystander watching someone else do the task (third person).
The participants performed the physical task only. It is a mirror tracing game that requires participants to trace a star shape viewed through a mirror, going as fast as possible while staying within the lines.
Time
The time to complete the physical tracing task was measured from when the investigator said 'GO' until the participant returned the pen to the starting point. The physical tracing task is a mirror tracing game that requires participants to trace a star shape viewed through a mirror, going as fast as possible while staying within the lines.
Time frame: Time was measured at the end of each session, with intervals of 3 session/week for 3 weeks with total of 9 sessions. So, the research ended up with 9 reading for the time.
Errors
Errors were operationally defined as each time the pen went outside of the shape lines while doing the physical tracing task. Crossing a line and returning to the original trace was counted as one error. Errors were counted by the number of times the pen went outside the lines.
Time frame: Errors were counted at the end of each session, with intervals of 3 session/week for 3 weeks with total of 9 sessions. So, the research ended up with 9 reading for the time.
Plan to share: Yes — Data from this study, including individual participant data (IPD) and associated documentation, will be made available upon reasonable request to the principal investigator. Requests will be considered when accompanied by a detailed proposal, including a clear justification for the use of the data. Such requests will be subject to a review process to ensure compatibility with participant consent and the ethical guidelines governing the study. Data sharing will be facilitated under a data use agreement that specifies the terms and conditions to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of participants
