Graded motor imagery for patients with stroke: a non-randomised controlled trial of a new approach.

CONCLUSION: GMI is a feasible treatment for stroke patients with better outcomes than conventional therapy. A randomised controlled trial is warranted to minimise risk of selection bias.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Clinicians should implement GMI treatment in their clinical practice, being a feasible, clinically relevant, costless, and easy-to-do treatment.
