Brain Activation Evoked by Motor Imagery in Pediatric Patients with Complete Spinal Cord Injury [PEDIATRICS]

CONCLUSIONS:
Our study demonstrated that part of the motor imagery network was functionally preserved in pediatric complete spinal cord injury and could be activated through motor imagery. In addition, higher-level activation in sensorimotor-related regions was also found in pediatric complete spinal cord injury during motor imagery. Our findings may provide a theoretic basis for the application of motor imagery training in pediatric complete spinal cord injury.
