Abstract

In this study, we investigated motor prediction in subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS) at a very early stage of the disease to compare it with healthy subjects and implications in physical therapy. Conclusions This result suggests a decline of mental prediction of motor actions in subjects with MS at an early stage of the disease and further suggests that motor imagery practice may be effective in enhancing motor performance in patients with MS.
