Abstract EN
Action observation (AO) allows access to a network that processes visuomotor and sensorimotor inputs and is believed to be involved in observational learning of motor skills.
We conducted three consecutive experiments to examine the boosting effect of AO on the motor outcome of the untrained hand by either mirror visual feedback (MVF), video therapy (VT), or a combination of both.
In the first experiment, healthy participants trained either with MVF or without mirror feedback while in the second experiment, participants either trained with VT or observed animal videos.
In the third experiment, participants first observed video clips that were followed by either training with MVF or training without mirror feedback.
The outcomes for the untrained hand were quantified by scores from five motor tasks.
The results demonstrated that MVF and VT significantly increase the motor performance of the untrained hand by the use of AO.
We found that MVF was the most effective approach to increase the performance of the target effector.
On the contrary, the combination of MVF and VT turns out to be less effective looking from clinical perspective.
The gathered results suggest that action-related motor competence with the untrained hand is acquired by both mirror-based and video-based AO.
