“…Recent work by Scott et al 22 and Marshall et al 23 provided further empirical support for the improved efficacy of the combined use of motor imagery and action observation over and above the isolated use of either motor imagery or action observation. Marshallet al, 23 for example, tested the combined use of motor imagery and action observation to examine its effect on the kinematics of eye–hand coordination during a visuomotor rotation task. The results showed that motor performance improved in children with DCD, which, according to the authors, provides further support for the internal modeling deficit hypothesis.…”

“…That is, in line with the model, the combined use of motor imagery and action observation was a more effective tool for impacting motor skills in children with varying motor abilities compared with motor imagery and action observation in isolation.

In 2019, international clinical practice recommendations on the definition, diagnosis, assessment, intervention, and psychosocial aspects of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) were published. Informing our understanding of mechanisms, recent systematic reviews have shown that children with DCD have difficulties with the predictive control of movements, including aspects of motor planning, which is expressed as the internal modeling deficit hypothesis. This motor control deficit is most evident when the spatial and temporal demands of a task increase. An increasing number of empirical studies suggest that motor planning problems can be remediated through training based on one or a combination of motor imagery and action observation. In this review, we show evidence of motor planning problems in children with DCD and show that task demands or complexity affects its appearance. Implications of these findings are treatments based on motor imagery and action observation to remediate motor planning issues. The article concludes with recommendations for future research.

“…Further studies, with a larger sample size, are needed, to further explore this area. Different studies have highlighted the importance of AO and MI for rehabilitation regimes, and its fundamental role in neurological conditions (Abbruzzese et al 2015;Marshall et al 2020;Mulder 2007) and immobilization (Bassolino et al 2014). Under the right conditions, sonification could represent important strategy to maximize learning in clinical conditions, such as stroke survivors (Scholz et al 2014(Scholz et al , 2015(Scholz et al , 2016, but could also be a viable sensory substitution strategy for conditions such as deafferentation (Danna and Velay 2017;Danna et al 2015).…”

Does sonification of action simulation training impact corticospinal excitability and audiomotor plasticity?

et al. 2021

Sonification is a sensory augmentation strategy whereby a sound is associated with, and modulated by, movement. Evidence suggests that sonification could be a viable strategy to maximize learning and rehabilitation. Recent studies investigated sonification of action observation, reporting beneficial effects, especially in Parkinson’s disease. However, research on simulation training—a training regime based on action observation and motor imagery, in which actions are internally simulated, without physical execution—suggest that action observation alone is suboptimal, compared to the combined use of action observation and motor imagery. In this study, we explored the effects of sonified action observation and motor imagery on corticospinal excitability, as well as to evaluate the extent of practice-dependent plasticity induced by this training. Nineteen participants were recruited to complete a practice session based on combined and congruent action observation and motor imagery (AOMI) and physical imitation of the same action. Prior to the beginning, participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups, one group (nine participants) completed the practice block with sonified AOMI, while the other group (ten participants) completed the practice without extrinsic auditory information and served as control group. To investigate practice-induced plasticity, participants completed two auditory paired associative stimulation (aPAS) protocols, one completed after the practice block, and another one completed alone, without additional interventions, at least 7 days before the practice. After the practice block, both groups significantly increased their corticospinal excitability, but sonification did not exert additional benefits, compared to non-sonified conditions. In addition, aPAS significantly increased corticospinal excitability when completed alone, but when it was primed by a practice block, no modulatory effects on corticospinal excitability were found. It is possible that sonification of combined action observation and motor imagery may not be a useful strategy to improve corticospinal, but further studies are needed to explore its relationship with performance improvements. We also confirm the neuromodulatory effect of aPAS, but its interaction with audiomotor practice remain unclear.

“…Within the task-oriented approach, imagery trainings (alone or in combination with observational interventions) also seem to be promising. For instance, Marshall et al. (2020) showed the effectiveness of an intervention based on the observation of videos showing the performance of some motor tasks accompanied by concurrent motor imagination (mental rehearsal) of that action for the empowerment of eye-hand coordination in 7–11 year-old children with DCD.…”

This review is intended to point out the role played by motor skills proficiency in the academic achievement of typically and atypically developing pupils who are attending primary school. First, the interplay between motor and cognitive development will be presented. Next, the cognitive phenotype, not yet deeply investigated, of a neurodevelopmental condition associated with the atypical development of motor functions (known as Developmental Coordination Disorder) will be illustrated. Thus, the contribution of motor functions to academic learning and the impact of motor difficulties for pupils attending primary school will be discussed. In addition, the importance of developing observational tools to be used in educational settings and the need for effective interventions designed to empower motor functioning and academic achievement of atypically developing pupils with motor deficits will be highlighted. Finally, future directions within the educational agencies for the early detection of the atypically developing motor trajectories and their treatment will be traced.
